Firelight Fireflies


When I sound the fairy call,
Gather here in silent meeting,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall,
Cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, Take a cherry
Mine are sounder, Mine are rounder
Mine are sweeter, For the eater
When the dews fall.  And you'll be fairies all.
~Robert Graves, "Cherry-Time," Fairies and Fusiliers, 1918

    Thanks the comment. The dress tree reminds me so much of Moschinos window display with dresses as hot air ballons. I wonder if their inspiration came from this image. Hmmm.
