Faerie Quotes




Fairies are such magical and beautiful creatures. My novella which I am working on for next May Day will have new fairies. I love Mora, Oran, as well as the pagan fairies.

It's sunday so here are some more faerie quotes in preparation for St. Patrick's Day.

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.
~William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894


Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels.  But their magic sparkles in nature.  ~Lynn Holland


The fairy poet takes a sheet
Of moonbeam, silver white;
His ink is dew from daisies sweet,
His pen a point of light.
~Joyce Kilmer


Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly!  ~Author Unknown


Nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom.  It is as true as sunbeams.  ~Douglas Jerrold


The fairies break their dances
And leave the printed lawn.
~A.E. Housman


Princess Edane... heard a voice singing on a May Eve like this, and followed half awake and half asleep, until she came into the Land of Faery, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.  ~William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894


When the winds of March are wakening the crocuses and crickets,
Did you ever find a fairy near some budding little thickets,...
And when she sees you creeping up to get a closer peek
She tumbles through the daffodils, a playing hide and seek.
~Marjorie Barrows


[E]very time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies," there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.  ~James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan
