AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT IN YOUR LIFE/

HOROSCOPES Dedicated to all lovers of...

THIS COMMENTARY is dedicated to my daughter, Fayren Nepenthe (Greck for ‘‘no sorrow’'), a beautifully “‘fey’’ product of magically transformative love-sharing between her elfin, air-sylph-like mother and my impish, satyr-like self, who refers to me as a ‘‘jerk.””

No, we're not Greek. I just love the feeling-tone of ‘‘Nepenthe.”’ And [ can certainly, on the per- sonality level, be as gargantuan a “jeck'’ as the nexe father, brother, husband or ‘‘guy.””

{ regard the beleaguered Woody Allen and tell myself, ‘It could be worse!’’ My former wife would immediately retort, “‘It could be better!"’

In any case, I also dedicate the following to all lovers of ... well, if you will, please read slowly with the heart rather than quickly with the head:

Where dips the rocky highland of sleuth wood in the iake, there lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake the drowsy water rats.

There we've hid our faery vats, full of berries, and of reddest stolen cherries.

Come away, o human child, to the waters and the wild with a faery, hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

Where the wave of mocniight glosses the dim grey sands with light, far off by furthest rosses we foot it all the night, weaving olden dances, mingling hands and mingling glances till the moon has taken flight. :

To and fro we leap and chase the frothy bubbles, while the world is full of troubles and is anxious in iis sleep.

Come away, o human child, to the waters and the wild with a faery, hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

Where the wandering water gushes from the hills above glen- car, in pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star, we seek for slumbering trout and whispering in their ears give them unquiet dreams.

Leaning softly out from ferns

that drop their tears over the

young streams.

Come away, o human child, to the waters and the wild with a faery, hand in hand, for the

world’s more full of weeping than _

you can understand.

Away with us he’s going, the solemn-eyed: he’ll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hillside or the kettle on the hob sing peace into his breast, or see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal-chest.

Come away, o human child, to the waters and the wild with a faery, hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

The Stolen Child —- W.B. Yeats
