Sunday Dinner: Magic

~

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes

the whole world around you

because the greatest secrets

are always hidden in

the most unlikely places.

Those who don’t believe in magic

will never find it.”

.

Roald Dahl

“The world is full of magic things,

patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

.

W.B. Yeats

“I want to be magic.

I want to touch the heart of the world

and make it smile.

I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree.

Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam

and hear the stars sing.

I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore.

I want to be magic.”

.

Charles de Lint

“But you must not change one thing,

one pebble, one grain of sand,

until you know what good and evil will follow on that act.

The world is in balance, in Equilibrium.

A wizard’s power of Changing and Summoning

can shake the balance of the world.

It is dangerous, that power…

It must follow knowledge,

and serve need.”

.

Ursula K. Le Guin
