Catch a Falling Star

Sometimes we all need a little 'magic' and enchantment in our lives! *winkz*

Pssst! I wish that as you sleep tonight, you'll journey into Faerie... turn your face upon the moonshine, dance in a meadow of blue-bells, chance upon a fairy with melodious laughter, and be sprinkled with star-dust!

An excerpt from Neil Gaiman's charming and dazzling novel, "Stardust":
=======================================================
" Dunstan paused in front of a stall covered with tiny crystal ornaments; he examined the miniature animals, pondering getting one for Daisy Hempstock. He picked up a crystal cat, no bigger than his thumb. Sagely it blinked at him, and he dropped it, shocked; it righted itself in midair and, like a real cat, fell on its four paws. Then it stalked over to the corner of the stall and began to wash itself."


Song (John Donne 1572-1631)
============================

Go, and catch a falling star
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all the past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind

If thou be'est born to strange sights
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee,
Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me
All strange wonders that befell thee
And swear
Nowhere
Lives a woman true, and fair.

If thou find'st one, let me know
Such a pilgrimage were sweet,
Yet do not, I would not go,
Thou at next door we might meet,
Thou she were true when you met her,
And last, till you write your letter
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two or three
