The
fairytale
facade
is always
inviting
enticing
the mind
to feats of
enchantment
that forget even
the most well
built dream
can erode right
in front of
your
eyes.

-
Robert Greene (1560 - 1592)
Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content;
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumb...
