Nora Normile
Fruit-call

October 10, 2019 – November 03, 2019

“I hear the fruit-call but I dare not look:

You should not loiter longer at this brook:

Come with me home.

The stars rise, the moon bends her arc,

Each glowworm winks her spark,

Let us get home before the night grows dark:

For clouds may gather

Though this is summer weather,

Put out the lights and drench us through;

Then if we lost our way what should we do?”

– Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market,” 1862
