Never, never, comes tear or sorrow
In the mansions old where the fairies dwell
But only the harping of their sweet harp-strings
&the lonesome stroke of a distant bell.

"In the black furrow of a field
I saw an old witch-hare this night;
And she cocked a lissome ear,
And she eyed the moon so bright,
And she nibbled of the green"
Walter de la Mare (1901)

"Gleaming with irised hues,
Afloat in light it swims—
A tiny globe of rainbow-trembling dew,
Then—gone! Like some bright dream
That leaves the waking air
Still sighing for its loveliness." Walter de la Mare (1913)

I thought I'd share with you this lovely 1926 1st edition of the #WalterdelaMare collection, 'The Connoisseur', which features the brilliant, 'All Hallows'.
Tucked inside, for the last 100 years, is this letter from E.H. Simpson of William Collins, Sons & Co. Limited.
I love this sort of thing.

I've read #Quincunx, a short story collection by #WalterDeLaMare.
Weird, not always compelling, not always easy to follow, but always very well written and classy. Still, it's not one of the best collections I've read lately.
7/10.

But only ahost ofphantom listeners
That dwelt inthelonehouse then
Stood listening inthequiet moonlight
To thatvoice fromtheworldofmen:
Stood thronging thefaint moonbeams onthedarkstair
That goesdown totheemptyhall
Hearkening in an air stirred&shaken
By the lonely Traveller’s call.

Never theleast stir made thelisteners
Tho every word he spake
Fell echoing thru theshadowiness of thestillhouse
From the one man left awake:
Ay they heard his foot upon the stirrup
&the sound of iron on stone
&how the silence surged softly backward
When the plunging hoofs were gone.
