Saturday's Enchantment

That blessed mood

In which the burden of the mystery,

In which the heavy and the weary weight

Of all this unintelligible world

is lightened

William Wordsworth

Wednesday's Enchantment

There she weaves by night and day

A magic web with colours gay.

She has heard a whisper say,

A curse is on her if she stay

To look down to Camelot.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 'The Lady of Shalott'

Monday's Enchantment....

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.

Horace Mann, Lost, Two Golden Hours

The March Winds

The March winds are scurrying from the Southwest, to chase the old winter away. And buckets and tubs that are standing around jump quickly and shout ''Hip Hooray!''
And zig zag away here and there, in the yard. And the shingles, if loose, start to fly, And the waste-basket papers left outside the door, make a bee-line, then shoot for the sky!
Mrs. Biddy, the hen, tries again and again To visit her usual places
In her casual way, but the wind, on its way, commands, and she right about faces.
The cat curls up, near where the pup is asleep back under the porch, near the wall,
For outside where things act so crazy today, There's no chance to slumber at all.
The March winds are just one big boisterous show. With lions and clowns in the ring
And when the shows over we turn to behold the first blooming flowers of Spring!

Ed Blair

Saturday's Enchantment

In an ancient meadow,

by the twilight's glow,

You might see a fairy,

Just where the bluebell's grow.

And you may try and catch one,

If you take your time. Hold it gently on a twig,

Until the bluebell's chime.

Alas you cannot keep one,

Though you wish you could,

For when you hear the bluebell's chime,

There'll be nothing where they stood.

Jean Henry, Twilight

Friday's Enchantment

In fairy-tales, witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks, and they ride on broomsticks.
But this is not a fairy-tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. The most important thing you should know about real witches is this. Listen very carefully. Never forget what is coming next.
REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary woman. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS.
That is why they are so hard to catch.

Roald Dahl, The Witches
