Fairy Queen

Famous quotes containing the words fairy queen, fairy and/or queen:

    The fairy queen
    Bids you increase that loving humour more.
    They that have not yet fed
    On delight amorous,
    She vows that they shall lead
    Apes in Avernus.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    A parent who from his own childhood experience is convinced of the value of fairy tales will have no difficulty in answering his child’s questions; but an adult who thinks these tales are only a bunch of lies had better not try telling them; he won’t be able to related them in a way which would enrich the child’s life.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    Most Gracious Queen, we thee implore
    To go away and sin no more,
    But if that effort be too great,
    To go away at any rate.
    —Anonymous. “On Queen Caroline,” in Diary and Correspondence of Lord Colchester (1861)
