"THE WITCH"

Oct 31, 2009 11:19

It pleases me to give a man 3 wishes, then trick him into wasting every one... To set the simpering goose-girl on the throne, while the true princess weeps among the Ashes.I like to come unbidden to the CHRISTENING, cackling a curse on the young-princeling's head..To slip a Toad into the maiden's bed,to conjure up the briers, the glass slope glistening...

...And I am near,oh nearer than you've known. You cannot shut me in a fairy book. It was my step you heard, mine and my creatures' soft at your heel...And if you look long in your Mirror, you will see my features inextricably mingled WITH YOUR OWN
