“Solstice Hymn by Stewart Stafford
Brittle bones upon the bitter green,
Ancient oil poured anoints this night,
Candlelit lifeline in a smothering void,
The covenant of fire amid frosty siege.
Nascent gold concubines the grey,
Eternal changing of the guard secured.
Traversing 'neath a Long Night Moon,
With symptoms of mortality to allay.
Let fear melt away as the last chillblain,
Sun’s palest eye affirms striving will.
Summer’s warmth radiates far horizons.
The Northern Lights’ verdant star’s amen.

“...some evidence seems to exist that an idea prevailed that in the fairy sphere there is a reversal of the seasons, our winter being their summer. Some such belief seems to have been known to Robert Kirk, for he tells us that 'when we have plenty they [the fairies] have scarcity at their homes.' In respect of the Irish fairies they seem to have changed their residences twice a year: in May, when the ancient Irish "flitted" from their winter houses to summer pastures, and in November, when they quitted these temporary quarters.”
