~Spirit Of The Night~
Artist: John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893)
Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear,
Or like a fairy, trip upon the green,
Or like a nymph, with long dishevelled hair,
Dance on the sands, and yet no footing scene:
Love is a spirit all compact of fire,
Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire.
William Shakespeare, "Venus and Adonis
~The Fairy Dance~
Artist: Richard Doyle (British, 1824-1883)
The soft stars are shining,
The moon is alight;
The folk of the forest
Are dancing tonight:
O swift and gay
Is the song they sing;
They float and sway
As they dance in a ring.
Katherine Davis, "The Fairy Dance"
~The Butterfly~
Artist: Luis Ricardo Falero (1851- 1896)
~The Moth Fairy~
Artist: Amelia Jane Murray,
Lady Oswald, 1800-1896
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weepeng
than you can understand.
William Butler Yates,
"The Stolen Child."
~Endymion on Mount Latmos~
 "In Greek mythology Endymion was a beautiful youth who spent much of his life in perpetual sleep. Endymion's parentage varies among the different ancient references and stories, but several traditions say that he was originally the king of Elis. According to one tradition, Zeus offered him anything that he might desire, and Endymion chose an everlasting sleep in which he might remain youthful
forever. According to another version of the myth, Endymion's eternal sleep was a punishment inflicted by Zeus because he had ventured to fall in love with Zeus's wife, Hera. In any case, Endymion was loved by Selene, the goddess of the moon, who visited him every night while he lay asleep in a cave on Mount Latmus in Caria; she bore him 50 daughters. A common form of the myth represents Endymion as having been put to sleep by Selene herself so that she might enjoy his beauty undisturbed."
