"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."
- William Butler Yeats

‘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,

🚨 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.
