"People always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have." ••Anne Tyler

 “...some evidence seems to exist that an idea prevailed that in the fairy sphere there is a reversal of the seasons, our winter being their summer. Some such belief seems to have been known to Robert Kirk, for he tells us that 'when we have plenty, they [the fairies] have scarcity at their homes.' In respect of the Irish fairies, they seem to have changed their residences twice a year: in May, when the ancient Irish "flitted" from their winter houses to summer pastures, and in November, when they quitted these temporary quarters.”

― Lewis Spence, British Fairy Origins
