"Goodman's Croft ~

A strip of ground
Or corner of a field formerly left untilled,
In Scotland, in the belief that unless some such place
Were left,
The spirit of evil would damage the crop.

'Scotchmen still living remember
The corner of a field being left for the goodman's croft.'

Tylor,
From 'Primitive Culture'
[ii. 370]"

~ E. Cobham Brewer,
From "Dictionary of Phrase and Fable"
[1898]

"You were wrong

On a black table, some around your house,
Some around mine, and the specific looms

Peonies weighted, three in a white vase

We turn and turn through always and ever
With as between us."

Here.

"Here."

"Such knowledge,
No doubt, fascinates, without or within,
As any other arrival,

But a Snark doubts as soon as the captain uncovers
That confidentiality has therefore placed
In doubt the anticipated arrival,

Contradicting A Snark's Knowledge,
Based upon Official Snark Methodology.

A lot well depends not only upon a sharp
Snark Concept, in order to cross the ocean,
But also, the Official

Tinkle of A Snark's relative constant,
Bow, spirit, arrow, rudder."
~ Cotter

"... but so much depends
Upon a red sail,
A poem read,
A red wheel barrow's untold tale,
After you said ~
Rain ~ washed ripe red plums
Glisten diamonds, chilling in the refrigerator."

``Just the place for a Snark!'' the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
