Barnacle Garden

“There are a number of scholars who sometimes say, of the sea-faring settlers of old Mycenae,That they believed a strange goose could spring free, from barnacles grown beneath the sea. Though modern men scoff and kick at the sand, the faerie folk know they must grow on the land. Gnome farmers of earth from mushroom tops, tend the feathery forms of their barnacled crops.”
