On Dragons and Fairie Tales
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” - C.S. Lewis
“Una and the Lion” from the Faeire Queene, by Briton Rivière, 1880
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” - G.K. Chesterton

Breezy~ I cannot tell you how MANY times I have enjoyed the quotes that you have come up with. They speak right into my soul about things that are presently on my mind. How do you do it?! ;-)
In fact, I have saved so many of your posts in my bloglines I have since lost track.
This painting is more than stunning. I think I should like to find a copy someday for my home. I love it.
Thank you for sharing your bits!
