'Why were you born when the snow was falling?
You should have come to the cuckoo’s calling,
Or when grapes are green in the cluster,
Or, at least, when lithe swallows muster
For their far off flying
From summer dying.'
-Christina Rossetti

To sail in the moonlight clear, -
And merrily we would float
From the dragons that watch us here!'

'This is the story of Waldemar Daa and his daughters. Tell it better yourselves, if you can,' said the wind, as it veered round. Then it was gone.'

'And those that slept, they dreamed of ill
And dreadful things:
Of skies grown red with rending flames
And shuddering hills that cracked their frames;
Of twilights foul with wings.'
-Conrad Aiken

Witches of Scandinavian folklore came up with a clever way to get free milk. They made troll cats out of nails and hair. They were often shaped as cats or hares and would steal milk or cream for the neighbours and spit it out into a manger.
