And what good is it to me that you're here now? Where where you twenty years ago, ten years ago? How dare you, how dare you come to me now, when I am this?
Peter S. BeagleYour name is a golden bell hung in my heart. I would break my body to pieces to call you once by your name.
Peter S. BeagleYou pile of stones, you waste, you desolation, I'll stuff you with misery till it comes out of your eyes. I'll change your heart into green grass, and all you love into a sheep. I'll turn you into a bad poet with dreams.
Peter S. BeagleThis creature is the Pooka. Pay no mind to the shape he wears, for heโs none of his own, and no soul either. Ware him ever, trust him never, but when the windโs right he has his uses. Never forget that you will never know him. The Pookaโs mystery even to the Pooka.
