"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Dream.

Homer, The Pumpkin Patch, 1878


"Jack-o'-Lantern, Jack-o'-Lantern,
Tell me where you hide by day?"

"In the cradle where the vapours
Dream the sunlit hours away."

"Jack-o'-Lantern, Jack-o'-Lantern,
Who rekindles you at night?"

"Any firefly in the meadow
Lends a Jack-o'-Lantern light."

John B. Tabb
