I Keep Three Wishes Ready
I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.
I'd hate to have stammer,
Or have to think them out,
For it's very hard to think things up
When a fairy is about.
And I'd hate to lose my wishes,
For fairies fly away,
And perhaps I'd never chance
On any other day.
So I keeep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.
- Anette Wynne
"What you ardently desire, sincerely believe in, vividly imagine, enthusiastically act on, must inevitably come to pass."
- Paul Meyer
In Gulliver's Travels Jonathan Swift described the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, giving their exact size and speeds of rotation. He did this more than 100 years before either moon was discovered.
