“Tale of The Old West”
Like I
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis
“Some leaves hang late, some fallbefore the first frost--so goesthe tale of winter branches and old bones.”
William Carlos Williams
“Very old are we men; / Our dreams are tales / Told in dim Eden / By Eve's nightingales.”
Walter de La Mare
“When fairy tales are written in the west, they're known as folklore. In the east, fairy tales are called religions.”
Paul Henderson
“I am often asked why I nearly always select old material, fairy tales and legends for my stage works. I do not look upon them as old, but rather as valid material. The time element disappears, and only the spiritual power remains. My entire interest is in the expression of spiritual realities. I write for the theater in order to convey a spiritual attitude.”
Carl Orff
“The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and to the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making.”
Clive Barker
