blessed wild apple girl

'Pon a hill a green bird sat
Her owlets in a green felt hat
Her fortune was a wish.

simplesnail: Amelia Jane Murray, Lady Oswald, 1800-1896 “‘Emily,’ as Amelia was always called, was born in Port-e-Chee on the Fairy Island of the Isle of Mann, the daughter of Lord Henry Murray, whose ancestors had for generations beeen styled the Kings of Man. Emily and her five borthers and sisters had a privileged childhood, living at Mount Murray, a house five miles south of Douglas. Her Fairy paintings date from the 1820s. She was inspired by the rich folklore of the Isle of Mann, epitomised by the name of her birthplace, Port-e-Chee, which in Manx Gaelic means ‘Fairy Music’” — Peter Nahum http://www.victorianweb.org/painting/murray/index.html
