Dedication
To Alison
Who fills our house with glimmering light
With her loving, cozy fire
And Emma-Kate and Sarah-Jane
Our precious elves, beloved sprites
Who hop as light as bird from brier.
Through the house give glimmering light
By the dead and drowsy fire;
Every elf and fairy sprite
Hop as light as bird from brier;
—William Shakespeare
A Midsummer-Night's Dream
