Abandon yourselves to nature's truths.
*
Double double, toil and trouble.
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Eye of newt, and toe of frog
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog.
Shakespeare
*
Devil follow corpse
Cat follow devil
Warts follow cat
I'm done with ye!
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
*
By the pricking of my thumbs
something wicked this way comes.
Shakespeare
*
From ghoulies and ghosties
and long leggety beasties
and things that go bump in the night
Good Lord, deliver us.
*
This is the fairy land
O, spite of spites!
We talk of goblins, owls
and elvish sprites!
If we obey them not
This will ensue
They'll suck our breath
or pinch us black & blue.
Shakespeare
*
I'd like to take you home with me,
And put you on my Christmas tree.
Impale you on the star on top,
And laugh at cries to make me stop.
I'll chase you round my evil room,
And beat you with my witch's broom.
I'll wear a bleeding shroud at night,
Scream incantations when I bite.
I'll think your thoughts and mess around
To fill your ears with empty sound.
I'll hide and leap when you're asleep.
I'll burn your books and spoil your looks.
I'll pluck your curly hair by root,
And tear the toenails in your boot.
I'll rattle in your brain so bright,
Make truth look wrong and lies look right.
You'll beg for mercy. I have none.
You'll pray to God who will not come.
Arthritic knots your fingers be,
Until you ask to marry me.
*
Come faeries, take me out of this dull world,
for I would ride with you upon the mountains like a flame.
W.B. Yeats
*
In every stone, a crystal sleeps.
A mighty oak, each acorn keeps.
Within each sky a wild moon peeps.
Therein lies the wolf.
Wolfie from Wolfie's Lair
*
Cry ye not in depth of night
For all of thy brethren feed upon fright.
Wail ye not nor shed a tear
Do not feed them with your fear.
Little one, be strong and true
Do not let them bother you.
For the shadows can only creep
They cannot kill you in your sleep.
