17/23 I took the pieces, all black, and wet with crying over them, to the Fairy Queen. But she took them from me, and laid them aside; and made me go to sleep in a great hall of white, with black pillars, and many red curtains. When I woke in the morning, I went to her, hoping to have my globe again, whole and sound; but she sent me away without it, and I have not seen it since. I have something so much better. |
