Fun verse 4 all the family Liquorice and Aniseed.
Come, my sweet, it is not meet for you to lay in bed all day eating licorice and aniseed that way -
there are chores to be donecobwebs to be swept awayand spurs to be won and then there is the cooking of dinner(life is not all curds and whey)or thee and I shall get much thinner.
Licorice is fine to suckbut does not, alas, consist of muchand, furthermore, it blackens the tongue which surely is wrong, especiallyfor one as highly strung as I. As for aniseed, although it is pleasantenough in a medicinal and hermetic way,it is less substantial than carrots or spinach-
a few brief moments on the palateand then it is gone in less than a minutewith little left to show for itself. Rouse thyself, my gentle help-meetand gain the towering eminence of thine feet: perambulate to the shopping mall and fill up the larder if you fain will- a veal and ham pie wouldst pleaseth mine eye,followed perhaps by a nice cherry piesmothered in custard with crackers for afters with soft cheese and mustard. What? Mine words do not move thee? Then mayhap this cricket bat might sufficeto shift thine backside in a paltry instance or trice...
I did not woo and wed thee that thee might lay in bedand suck licorice and aniseed all day.
Pray, have pity, at least get up and make me a fresh cup of tea.
For the Children, From Willow

HEIDI, apart from this little message about Heidi and the author. There is also a wonderful picture and song vidie list to start off the new Gold and Silver, Web Page
There is another beautiful story that of Heidi. It was the most successful and best-known "literary" child of
that most famous Swiss author, Johanna Spyri. In
the eleven years since Heidi first appeared, her presence has continued
to shine as a significant life force. Heidi has been translated into
about 50 languages and printed in an equivalent number of millions of
copies. Heidi has appeared in print, in film, and on television all
over the world. She has maintained her character despite the changing
styles of children's books today. The pointed pens and pencils of her
critics, and even the generosity
of her closest admirers. How can such a phenomenon occur?
First
of all there is the force of the fable itself, coherent and at the same
time so simple, that every child can "see the light". Moreover
there is a certain dependable differentiation among the personalities
that appear in the story: genuine, loveable, humorous, and completely
natural Heidi; clumsy Peter ("close to being a fool, but not quite",
as C. F. Meyer observed); grumpy, patriarchal, strict but ever so kind
Alm-Uncle (Alpöhi); blind, pitiable Grandmother; rich but at the
same time poor, crippled Klara; stupid, hard-hearted Fräulein Rottenmeier;
smart, loving Grandma; the friendly, understanding doctor. In all these
cases it's clear what kind of people these characters are.
Does
this paint too much of a "black and white" picture? In a certain
sense, yes, but the story is depicted in such beautiful fashion that
it helps the reader imagine events all the more colourfully. Is there
a simplistic separation of Good and Evil? That may be true too, but
this should not be considered alone - and in general this is the appeal
of most fairy stories that comprise the most beautiful treasure of all
folk literatures. Does it have an unrealistic "happy ending"
in a world that is anything but happy? Partly, yes, but we don't want
to begrudge our children this small joy - they will learn about the
other side of life soon enough.
And
how was this all interpreted when it first appeared? At the time, the
story of Heidi must have seem quite revolutionary. Someone actually
dared to understand the world from a child's perspective, rather than,
as usual, that of an adult! With the story of Heidi, Johanna Spyri gave
children the opportunity to return to their natural world rather than
forcing them to act like dolls that are forced to dress and act like
adults. To put it another way, Johanna Spyri was a pioneer in the field
of youth literature, celebrating the value of children as children in
a way that is still relevant today.
But
isn't Heidi just a little too good, too pious, too religious? Well,
whoever denies any possibility of the existence of wonders and the power
of faith can't be helped much anyway. Looking at things from another
perspective, isn't the challenge in today's world not to lose faith
entirely in things that represent goodness, truth, and beauty?
However
you look at it, Heidi speaks to us with the voice of love - and we shouldn't
tire of listening to her. A child moves the world and is able to bring
about positive changes among mankind - isn't that a complete education
programme in itself?
I did not woo and wed thee that thee might lay in bed and suck licorice and aniseed all day.
