invocation for fair weather that we used in our nursery
days, when, with noses flattened against the window pane, we uttered
our sing-song:

"Rain, rain, go to Spain."

And in blindman's buff, perhaps the most ancient of games, we have
words that have come down from remote times. The blindfolded one says:

"I go a-hunting a brassy fly."

To which the others answer:

"A-hunting thou goest; but shalt not come nigh."

And there are the marvellous stories of the Giant Killer, and the
wonders of Puss in Boots and Cinderella, which have descended to us
from that vast cloud-country of bygone ages; that dreamland of fairy
imagery, which is as real to the little maid in the twentieth century
as it was to her young sisters in the shadow of the Pyramids, on the
banks of the Tiber and the Ganges, in the neighborhood of solemn Druid
Temples, or among the fjords and floes of the far-off Icelandic
country, in centuries long since gone by.
