"The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beastsand birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment,and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow sharp as swords. In that realm a man may, perhaps, count himself fortunateto have wandered, but its very richness and strangeness tiethe tongue of the traveller who would report them. And while he is there it is dangerous for him to ask too many questions, lest the gate should be shut and the keys be lost." |
