I fell asleep
as Edward Plunkett
whispered dreams
into my ear.
It was then
that Lord Dunsany
crept
from behind the curtain.
Unfold this world –
familiar,
well-traveled,
and weary,
I wept
at its beauty,
while his curious beasts
swam in my tears.

Thanks for sharing that. It was very interesting reading. I had no idea how many authors were directly influenced by him!
You’re welcome! I’ve been digging deeper into his story, as I’m a lifelong fantasy lover. Very fascinating.
Very! Now I want to pick up some of his works. He sounds brilliant.
Do it and we can compare notes.
I’m super excited about this!
