"Come away, O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand."

‘Her lips began to scorch,
That juice was wormwood to her tongue,
She loath’d the feast:
Writhing as one possess’d she leap’d and sung,
Rent all her robe, and wrung’ Goblin Market,
Christina Rossetti.

🚨 ATTENTION BOOKWORMS 🚨

I was wondering how a 'bookworm' is described in other languages 📚🐛

For example, I live in Poland and the locals use the phrase 'mól książkowy' which translates as the rather wonderful 'book moth'..! 😀📘🦋

Any other examples, friends?

It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

"So they journeyed together, following the fleeing darkness into a wind that tasted like nails. The rind of the country cracked, and the flesh of it peeled back into gullies and ravines or shriveled into scabby hills."
