“Please fix. This quote is actually by Robert Graves. (Source: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10122/pg10122.txt) When I sound the fairy call, gather here in silent meeting, Chin to knee on the orchard wall, cooled with dew and cherries eating. Merry, merry, take a cherry, mine are sounder, mine are rounder, Mine are sweeter for the eater, when the dews fall, and you'll be fairies all.”
