In Celebration of Faeries....


Tori Amos--"We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad."


W.B. Yeats--"Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame."



James Matthew Barrie (Peter, in Peter Pan, act 1)--"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl."


Andrew Lang– “Of all the minor creatures of mythology, fairies are the most beautiful, the most numerous, the most memorable”



Lynn Holland--"Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels. But their magic sparkles in nature."


P.G. Wodehouse--" She holds the view that the stars are God's daisy chain, that rabbits are gnomes in attendance on the Fairy Queen, and that every time a fairy blows its wee nose a baby is born.


Ida Rentoul Outhwaite--"Then clear on a flute of purest gold; A sweet little fairy played. And wonderful fairy tales she told; and marvelous music made. "



Unknown--"Once upon an enchanted evening, fireflies danced, and fairies made wishes come true..."


And mine certainly have.
