You have probably observed that your baby-sister wants to do all sorts of things that your mother want[s] her not to do. […] It simply means that she is doing as she has seen the fairies do; […] and it takes about two years to get her into human ways.

“The Devil pulls the strings which make us dance;
We find delight in the most loathsome things;
Some furtherance of Hell each new day brings,
And yet we feel no horror in that rank advance…”🔥

whirl your pointed pines,
splash your great pines

hurl your green over us,
cover us with your pools of fir.'

‘Oh, ye! who have your eyeballs vexed and tired,
Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;
Oh ye! whose ears are dinned with uproar rude,
Or fed too much with cloying melody—
Sit ye near some old Cavern’s Mouth and brood…’
—John Keats
