what big eyes you have.....

Daniel Egneus has illustrated a retelling of Grimm's Red

Riding Hood. His art is magical.....

"her mind lives in a quiet room...

a narrow room...and tall...

with pretty lamps to quench the gloom

and mottoes on the wall.

there all the things are waxen neat

and set in decorous lines...

and there are posies...round and sweet...

and little straightened vines.

her mind lives tidily...apart

from cold and noise and pain...

and bolts the door against her heart...

out wailing in the rain."

~a retelling of Grimm's Red Riding Hood

these words speak of my world.....
