Search of the day: goblin
Results:
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) - Goblin Market: Morning and evening/Maids heard the goblins cry/"Come buy our orchard fruits/Come buy, come buy." Fantastic and inspiring opening right there. I recall the author's name from another time, and I rummage through my poetry notebook until I find the source of my memory: "Remember" by the same author, finishing with the more traditionally soul-stirring: Better by far you should forget and smile/Than that you should remember and be sad.
Orange Goblin: The marginally psychedelic site of a British band whose members are... well... "five ardent fans of Doom Rock and Metal [who] got together to play their music the way it should be played.... under the influence!!!" I'll say no more.
Goblin Shark, Mitsukurina owstoni: Large and scary fish-type things. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... It's a pretty colour, though.
