To dream of the impossible that should be…
Dragons will wander aboutthe waste places,and the phoenix will soarfrom her nest of fireinto the air.We shall lay our handsupon the Basilisk,and see the jewelin the toad’s head.Champing his gilded oats,the hippogriff will standin our stalls,and over our headswill float the bluebird,singing of beautiful and impossible things,of things [...]
