Off, Ye Icy Spirits: Keats’s Four Fairies
A dark winged figure reaches towards a pale fairy floating above mountain slopes. Shell-like rocks and small coloured clouds fill the space between them. The printed command to the icy spirits comes from John Keats’s Song of Four Fairies, joining the illustration with the poem’s elemental voices.
