Somewhere past the last house in Athens the trees close over the path, and everything the daylight promised comes undone. A flower's juice on a sleeping eyelid is enough to make the queen of the fairies adore the first thing she sees, and what she sees is a weaver wearing a donkey's head, whom she takes to her bower and crowns with roses.

The course of true love never did run smooth.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare
