ELF RING A circle of mushrooms known as an 'elf ring' from Kate Greenaway 1905. The girl is tentatively stepping into the elf ring wherein she could be transported to the otherworld, or be made to dance by fairies until she dies of exhaustion!

“O thou of divers-coloured mind, O thou
Deathless, God's daughter subtle-souled...
Child of God, close craftswoman, I beseech thee;
Bid not ache nor agony break nor master,
Lady, my spirit.”
(Sappho, tr Swinburne)

“By the painful light of the factory’s huge electric lamps
I write in a fever.
I write gnashing my teeth, rabid for the beauty of all this,
For this beauty completely unknown to the ancients.”
Fernando Pessoa was born #otd 1888

'He skips through the copses singing,
And his shadow dances along,
And I know not which I should follow,
Shadow or song!'

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
