After I find the Blue Fairy then I can go home
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
- William Butler Yeats, “The Stolen Child”
Just an excerpt from the poem since I just caught the end of AI: Artificial Intelligence on HBO. That part always kind of kills me, {SPOILER ALERT} the one where the aliens make a clone of Monica for David but one that can only stay alive for one day,{END SPOILER} even though I’m not exactly the biggest fan of the rest of the movie. It’s pretty creepy in parts really and I vaguely remember people taking their kids to see this because it looked like a children’s film somewhat. It’s a decent exploration into human nature, and dehumanization, and morality among other themes [are there? I have actually forgotten].
What is your responsibility to something you create that truly loves you?
