"And when your prayers complete the day, /
Darling, your little tiny hands /
Were also made, I think, to pray /
For men that lose their fairylands."
Hilaire Belloc

“The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange.”
G. K. Chesterton

"The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending... it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur....it denies universal final defeat and in so far is evangelium, giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy, Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief."
J.R.R. Tolkein, On Fairy Stories

"The poets in their melodies of old may have dreamed on Parnassus of this spot, singing about the happy age of gold. For here the human race was innocent; forever spring, and fruit upon the vine. This is the nectar which the poets meant.”
Dante Alighieri, describing Eden in Purgatorio

"All important literature has some ethical end…and the tale of the preternatural... can be an instrument for the recovery of moral order."
Russell Kirk in Ancestral Shadows
