ON HALLOWEEN

The witches fly
Across the sky,
The owls go, “Who? Who? Who?”
The black cats yowl
And green ghosts howl,
“Scary Halloween to you!”
–Nina Willis Walter

Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and
tongue of dog, Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s
sting, Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing, For a charm
of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and
bubble.
- William Shakespeare – Witches in Macbeth

From ghoulies and ghosties and long leggety beasties and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us!
- Scottish saying

What fearful shapes and shadows beset his path, amidst the dim and ghastly glare
of a snowy night! With what wistful look did he eye every trembling ray of light
streaming across the waste fields from some distant window! How often was he
appalled by some shrub covered with snow, which, like a sheeted spectre,
beset his very path! How often did he shrink with curdling awe at the sound
of his own steps on the frosty crust beneath his feet; and dread to
look over his shoulder, lest he should behold some uncouth being tramping
close behind him! and how often was he thrown into complete dismay by some
rushing blast, howling among the trees, in the idea that it was the
Galloping Hessian on one of his nightly scourings!
–Washington Irving – From “The Legend of Sleep Hollow”

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble
- William Shakespeare – Witches in Macbeth
