VARIANTS:
dream
O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone
(tooth fairy?)
Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,
Time out o’ mind the fairies’ coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love;
O’er courtiers’ knees, that dream on court’sies straight,
O’er lawyers’ fingers, who straight dream on fees,
O’er ladies’ lips, who straight on kisses dream . . .
—?Romeo + Juliet
ember
And see thy blood warm when thou feel’st
it cold. —?Sonnet 2
fragrance
I cannot smell.
Get you some of this distilled
carduus benedictus ? (holy thisle)
and lay it to your heart.
It is the only thing for a qualm.
