These are just a few little thoughts for everyone in fairy land....
When the first baby laughed for the first time, its 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.
(James M. Barrie, Peter Pan.)
Up the airy mountain,Down the rushy glen,We daren't go a-huntingFor fear of little men;Wee folk, good folk,Trooping all together,Green jacket, red cap,And white owl's feather!
(William Allingham, The Fairies.)
When I sound the fairy call,Gather here in silent meeting,Chin to knee on the orchard wall,Cooled with dew and cherries eating.Merry, merry, Take a cherryMine are sounder, Mine are rounderMine are sweeter, For the eaterWhen the dews fall. And you'll be fairies all.
(Robert Graves, Cherry-Time.)
Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,For I would ride with you upon the wind,Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,And dance upon the mountains like a flame.
(William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire.)
