The Invisible World

"Faeries tell us that small things can hold great truths"

-Brian Froud

The Faery Bride

Seen Faeries

"Every child must remember laying his head in the grass, 

staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies."

- Robert Louis Stevenson

Fairies of the Garden

 

"There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden.

There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, 

so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?” 

- Richard Dawkins

FaeryWoods

From gray woods they come, on silent feet
Into a cone of light.
A lifting note, O fair! O fleet!
There the night through
We take out pleasure,
Dancing to such a measure
As earth never knew.

- Seumus O'Sullivan

A Fairy Tale

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 in "Peter Pan"

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 in "The Land of Heart's Desire"

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. 

It all exists, even if it's in your mind. 

Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now.

- John Lennon 

Child of the pure, unclouded brow
And dreaming eyes of wonder!
Though time be fleet and I and thou
Are half a life asunder,
Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy tale.

-Lewis Carroll

 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 cherry
Mine are sounder, Mine are rounder
Mine are sweeter, For the eater
When the dews fall. And you'll be fairies all.
~

- Robert Graves

Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,
Where Faerie fold may rest and sleep until their night is spent.
The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,
The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Good Night.
~

- Elizabeth T. Dillingham

The Land of Faery,
Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.

- William Butler Yeats

One Heart, One Breath

"Love means to be with. It means to emerge from a fantasy world to a world that unconditional Love is possible.. face to face, bone to bone, a Love of devotion. Love means to stay when each cell tells us to flee."

"When two people love each other, there is one heart and one breath.  

While one side of the heart gets empty, the other one gets filled.  

When one breath ends, another one begins."

- in "Women Who Run with the Wolves"

by Clarissa Pinkola

Faeries

"Faeries, Gnomes, Devas, Nature Spirits, Elementals, Angels - whatever name we use for them - they were all here before the Age of Reason and they are all still here among us now. It is wise to remember that we deny the existence of faeries at our peril - for they have a disconcerting habit of breaking into our closed world-view, demanding our full attention in subversive and startling ways."  

 "Faeries tell us that small things can hold great truths!" 

- Brian Froud

Healing Love

I see my faery Queen for the first time.
I realize my mission,
I feel my birth.
I listen, first vaguely,
then more distinctly,
the sweet efforts of our union,
transforming each of us into the other.  
Our love heats the frozen universe,
and gives purification to my weariness and despair.
Through ours kisses and tenderness,
everything will be cured. 

- Me
