Quotations for fairy

'Tis noon - a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep;
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream;
And many a broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is gleaming like a lovely star. [ George D. Prentice ]

Truth, severe by fairy fiction drest. [ Gray ]

Thus ever fade my fairy dreams of bliss. [ Byron ]

When to soft Sleep we give ourselves away,
And in a dream as in a fairy bark
Drift on and on through the enchanted dark
To purple daybreak - little thought we pay
To that sweet bitter world we know by day. [ T. B. Aldrich ]

More strange than true, I never may believe
These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. [ William Shakespeare ]

Novels are to love as fairy tales to dreams. [ Coleridge ]

The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve;
Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. [ William Shakespeare ]

They know the time to go!
The fairy clocks strike their inaudible hour
In field and woodland, and each punctual flower
Bows at the signal an obedient head
And hastes to bed. [ Susan Coolidge ]

I have a passion for the name of Mary,
For once it was a magic sound to me,
And still it half calls up the realms of fairy.
Where I beheld what never was to be. [ Byron ]

This is the fairy land; O spite of spites,
We talk with goblins, owls, and elvish sprites. [ William Shakespeare ]

They are the heritage that glorious minds
Bequeath unto the world! — a glittering store
Of gems, more precious far than those he finds
Who searches miser's hidden treasures over.
They are the light, the guiding star of youth.
Leading his spirit to the realms of thought,
Pointing the way to Virtue, Knowledge, Truth,
And teaching lessons, with deep wisdom fraught.
They cast strange beauty round our earthly dreams,
And mystic brightness over our daily lot;
They lead the soul afar to fairy scenes,
Where the world's under visions enter not;
They're deathless and immortal — ages pass away,
Yet still they speak, instruct, inspire, amidst decay! [ Emeline S. Smith ]

Every man's life is a fairy-tale written by God's fingers. [ Hans Christian Andersen ]

I'll seek a four-leaved shamrock in all the fairy dells,
And if I find the charmed leaves, oh, how I'll weave my spells! [ Samuel Lover ]

Love is a reality which is born in the fairy region of romance. [ Talleyrand ]

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

Be secret and discreet; the fairy favors are lost when not concealed. [ Dryden ]

Their little minim forms arrayed in all the tricksy pomp of fairy pride. [ Drake ]

All the fairy tales of Aladdin, or the invisible Gyges, or the talisman that opens kings palaces, or the enchanted halls underground or in the sea, are only fictions to* indicate the one miracle of intellectual enlargement. [ Emerson ]
