The Absinthe Fairy

The Absinthe Fairy
Sara Russell 15/7/07

When evening comes, with carapace of gold,
To still the wingbeats of another day,
Again, as with artists and bards of old,
La Fee Verte comes, to spirit me away.

She laughs at all my weaknesses and vice,
Stealing my dreams to sprinkle them like dew
Upon my unsuspecting, dreaming eyes,
To give my fantasies a greener hue.

Beware the sly persuasion of her lips,
Take care to tiptoe where she leads astray,
Seeking the lotus, where the dreamer sips,
As darkness meets the closing eyes of day.

Beware her kiss, beware her luscious taste,
So sweet a snare might lay your soul to waste.

Nice website! There are some interesting spoons on there too... I have the La Fee one, so maybe I'll start collecting...

La Fee was the first I tried.  I liked it, but ended up becoming loyal to LDF.  If you haven't already, check them out at http://www.absintheonline.com/acatalog/Absinthe.html  They would ship over here to the US for a reasonable price, and would help you out if customs seized the package(when it was illegal). The amazing thing about their shipping is that the package would come here faster than items shipped within the US.  I would usually have the order in 2 to 3 days.  I think that is phenomenal considering it can take over a week to get something shipped from another state.  I recommend the
Verte de Fougerolles 72, but the Un Emile 68



is pretty good too. They have a lot of new ones that I would love to try, but I will probably try the locals that I can get at the liquor store now that it is legal. I am not sure where you live, but LDF may not be far from you.

Thanks cthopper!  Glad you like it... The absinthe I like is La Fee, the Parisian one. I have seen Hill's absinth in one or two shops near me but it's £50 a bottle  so I stick to miniatures but a couple can go a long way
