About artwork: "My son, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide? – Look, father, the Erl-King is close by our side! Dost see not the Erl-King, with crown and with train? – My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain. –" Illustration for the Erlkönig ("Fairy King"), a gothic horror poem written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The Erlkönig is a terrifying elf or spirit in German and Scandinavian folklore who is said to haunt the woodlands and can kill with one touch those who linger too long in the forest after dark. The poem was recently translated into Irish as "Rí na Síog" by Eoin McEvoy.
