Fay created @ Arkhamhaus Images

As I thus mused, with half shut eyes, while the sun sank rapidly to rest and eddying currents careered round and round the island, bearing upon their bosom large, dazzling, white flakes of the bark of the sycamore- flakes which, in their multiform positions upon the water, a quick imagination might have converted into any thing it pleased, while I thus mused, it appeared to me that the form of one of those very Fays about whom I had been pondering made its way slowly into the darkness from out the light at the western end of the island....

Edgar Allen Poe

Galilee,
Clive Barker
