"By opening this bottle of fairie wine, you agree that a single drop of every future bottle of wine you open will be taken from you, to be given to a tiny imp that will sit on your shoulder, observe you in the name of the faerie courts (and our allies), and urge you toward further faerie dealings that it believes you will enjoy."

Hungary, 1970. The wonderful Hungarian writer, Magda Szabó, author of some of greatest novels of post WWII-Hungary, such as Abigail, Katalin Street, Iza's Ballad, and perhaps her most well-known work, The Door. The New Yorker described the latter work as "a bone-shaking book". These are all available in excellent English translations, especially any by Len Rix.

these broken worms
dont tie that fly again
come and fish with me
