To and fro we leap,
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles.
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away! O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild,
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world is more full of weeping than you can understand.

The wicked, quaint fruit-merchant men,
Their fruits like honey to the throat
But poison in the blood’ Goblin Market, Rossetti.

Queen & huntress, chaste & fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair
State in wonted manner keep:
Hesperus entreats thy light,
Goddess excellently bright.
–Song To Diana, Roman goddess of hunting & the moon, by Ben Jonson in 1572.

“It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster...

How can this be real?” I whispered. “I mean you... you... where you come from. Your world. It is so beyond everything I’ve ever known..”
