What I saw in the fire - drawn by A. Crowquill, 1861. Illustration to a poem by A. C-Rambo, . 'When dozing by my Christmas fire, I'd dined; And feeling just for forty winks Inclined To while the time awayWhen all at once amidst the glowing coal I saw strange faces - stern, fantastic, droll; Bright fairies, gnomes, and witches of the night; Kings, ladies, sprites, all marshalled in the light; Next frowning rocks, with castles on the top, That blazed, and fumed, and spat, but did not stop Crashing And dashing. Castles and people, all the funny souls, Tumbled pell-mell amidst the burning coals Then strange The change 1 And the de'bris, You'd see, Pick itself out of all the danger. Turning at once to something, wilder, stranger, There was such piecing, And increasing. Hundreds were there: I counted every one. Such heads and faces, Not to mention graces![I] seized the poker straight, And started all the phantoms from the grate, Resolving just to try if mem'ry could Produce the fantasy again on wood. So, here it is; but really, on the whole, The great idea was better in the coal'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861. Creator: Mason Jackson. Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
