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. 😉
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"
