Lewis Spence Quotes
As Mr. R. U. Sayee Has Well Said: 'It Should Be Clear A Priori That Fairy Lore Must Have Developed As A Result Of Modifications And Accretions Received In Different Countries And At Many Periods, Though We Must Not Overlook The Part Played By Tradition In Providing A Mould That To Some Extent Determines The Nature Of Later Additions.' It Must Also Be Self-evident That A Great Deal Of Confusion Has Been Caused By The Assumption That Some Spirit-types Were Fairies Which In A More Definite Sense Are Certainly Not Of Elfin Provenance. In Some Epochs, Indeed, Faerie Appears To Have Been Regarded As A Species Of Limbo To Which All 'pagan' Spirits - To Say Nothing Of Defeated Gods, Monsters, And Demons - Could Be Banished, Along With The Personnel Of Olympus And The Rout Of Witchcraft. Such Types, However, Are Usually Fairly Easy Of Detection.
