I must warn you of my bad disposition. I am incapable of speaking of myself and of my life and the states of my soul, I am discreet to an almost pathological degree, and there is nothing I can do against that. If this is possible for you, I'd like to speak of literature. - Milan Kundera, in a 1985 letter to the New York Times in response to them asking for an interview

THE FAIRYLAND BELLMAN

by Margaret Ely Webb (author and illustrator)

The bee goes home when the shadows creep

Across from the slope of the western hill ;

The cricket is quiet ; the field is still ;

The flushed little daisies are longing for sleep.

Look ! Through the grass comes a firefly light :

‘T is the fairy watchman with his bell,

Crying, “Eight o’ the clock and all is well ;

It is time that the daisies were shut up tight.”

Hark ! Through the fiield goes a sleepy sigh !

Slowly the little white petals close ;

Wee pointed nighcaps, rows upon rows,

Nod as the wind goes whispering by.
