So the Prince was tended with care …
Oh, a moon face in a shadowy place,
And a light touch and a winsome grace

In The Odyssey, Penelope has a dream that a great eagle
swoops down from the mountains and kills her geese.
It’s a prophetic dream for when her husband, Odysseus,
returns from war, he kills her many suitors.

Meanwhile, in The Odyssey, the Cyclops, Polyphemus,
was making (feta) cheese:

“We entered the cave … The woven baskets were full of cheese,
the folds were full of sheep & goats and all his pots, tubs
and churns where he drew the milk, were full of whey.”

She never noticed that I showered apple blossoms
over her loosened hair; she only gazed at the red sunset
against the golden background of the sky, and the dark trees
and bushes of the garden.

Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
'Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy …

Sweet to tongue and sound to eye;
Come buy, come buy.’

I wished for nothing beyond her smile, and to walk with her thus, hand in hand, along a sun warmed, flower bordered path.

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He’ll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

Songs for a Nursery
1805

🎨 Walter Crane

In Kerry, it’s said the fox and the duck had a competition
to see who was first to announce the day.
The sly fox stayed up all night & in the morning
the fox said ‘oh duck, duck …’
But the smart duck woke up & called out, ‘day! day!’
So the duck is first!
