"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Excerpt From The Good Fairies of New York
"This Johnny Thunders is a splendid person, or ghost. He told me some funny stories about a place called Queens where he was born and showed me his tattoos. Even said he would keep a look out for your poppy. In return, I will help him look for his 1958 Gibson Tiger Top, which apparently was a wonderful guitar. It's called a Tiger Top because it has stripes." - Morag (a fairy), in Mark Millar's "The Good Fairies of New York". Sent via BlackBerry by AT
