Sylvester - written by Adelaide Holl, illustrated by N.M. Bodecker (1960)

In a dreary place I know, Silent clumps of ink hats grow. Full of poems, one should think, Since their hats are full of ink. But they vanish in their place, leaving not a blot or trace, that a human eye can see, of their inky poetry.

Ink Hats - N. M. Bodecker

“You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift. ” — Erin Morgenstern ~ The Night Circus
