Dryad Warrior

I was thinking of Hans Christian Anderson’s short story, The Dryad, and started to create a scene where the Dryad is protected from the promised doom by a loyal Noldorin. While playing around with the scene I remembered a poem I had to learn and recite in 8th grade. The class was told to pick a poem and I chose “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats….. which I have just realized, I still know, word for word.  Funny how the brain works…. since I cannot even recall what I told Gopu yesterday at lunch time! The Dryad tree is available at Eden Rising!

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
’Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,—
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees,In some melodious plot
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease.
