'The night never wants to end, to give itself over
to light. So it traps itself in things: obsidian, crows.
Even on summer solstice, the day of light’s great
triumph, we break open the watermelon and spit out
black seeds, bits of night glistening on the grass.'

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips & the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night.

Living and Dead Water are two types of water often found in Czech or Russian tales. When a person dies, they are sprinkled with the dead water for the wounds to heal, and then the living water is splashed on them for them to come back to life.
