"I have a shoe house completely full of children. I cannot afford to feed them, and they are hungry and restless.”
“I will give you enough bread and cheese for them all,” said the old man, “But you have to give me one of your children."

One of the most fragrant plants in the Spring, the Lily of the valley was also known as ‘fairy bells’ in Celtic cultures. This came from the belief that this flower would ring like a bell, but only fairies could hear them.

"And no one has a right to say that no water-babies exist, till they have seen no water-babies existing; which is quite a different thing, mind, from not seeing water-babies; and a thing which nobody ever did, or perhaps ever will do."
-The Waterbabies

"We are just like the green sea-weed, which, once cut down, can never revive again! Men, on the other hand, have a soul which lives for ever, lives after the body has become dust; it rises through the clear air, up to the shining stars!"
-The Little Mermaid
#FairyTaleTuesday
A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period –
When March is scarcely here
A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels…
Emily Dickinson
