💜 💜 'Glimerglass' 💜 💜


For some reason, the word "Glimmerglass" came into my mind.   I think it sounds lovely and mysterious and etc.

💜

Looked up definition of it...   "Glimmerglass" ~   "The vibrant reflection of sunlight on a watery surface."

"Otsego Lake NY is called "Glimmerglass" in the "Leatherstocking Tales" of James Fenimore Cooper."

💜

Somehow, those things, don't sound enchanting or otherworldly to me.

💜


There!   That book cover art, says "Glimmerglass" to me, more than a lovely lake.   😉

I'm sure I have read this.    But perhaps it's time to read it again.


💜


And this one too....  Delightful escape into the World of The Fey....

💜

"Faeries, come, take me out of this dull world, 

For I would ride with you upon the wind, 

Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, 

And dance upon the mountains like a flame!" 

~ William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire"
