“That is a moment of magic from Hope Solo!”

United States http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=r1PlC9mj-N0 (10 July 2011). <br class="br">2010s, 2011, 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup <br class="br">Context: Daiane, whose own goal started all the talking points today after seventy-four seconds. Seems a long, long time ago now. It was into this goal, now Brazil need her to put one in legitimately for them. Yes! Brilliant save from Solo, brilliant save! And that one is legal, and now that means, that if the United States put in the last two penalties, they will go into the semi-finals. That is a moment of magic from Hope Solo!
“The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed.”
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien book On Fairy-Stories
On Fairy-Stories (1939)
Context: The story-maker proves a successful 'sub-creator'. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed.
Bruce Springsteen (1949) American singer and songwriter
"The New Timer"
Song lyrics, The Ghost of Tom Joad (1995)
“The first time I called myself a 'Witch' was the most magical moment of my life.”
Margot Adler (1946–2014) author, Neopagan, and National Public Radio reporter
