Description

The Lord of Nightmares folks! Boogieman!

Nursery Rhymes:

Panel2: A Child's Lullaby

If you die before you wake,
Do not cry and do not ache.
Nothing’s ever yours to keep.
So close your eyes and go to sleep.

Panel 3-4: The Sandman Comes

The Sandman comes on tiptoe,
Will through the window peep,
And look at the little children
Who ought to be asleep.
And when a sleepless child he spies,
Throws sand into its eyes.
(Lullaby, lullaby, O sleep, my darling child.)

From "Der Sandmann" by E.T.A Hoffmann, the English translated version:

Panel4-5: "He's a wicked man who comes to children when they won't go to bed and throws handfuls of sand in their eyes, so that they pop right out of their heads all covered in blood, and then he throws them in a sack and carries them off to the half-moon to feed to his little children; they sit there in the nest, and have hooked beaks like owls, which they use to peck the eyes out of the heads of naughty children."
