Blood fell upon the snow in the first fairtale I knew. The childless Queen,I remember, pricked her finger and wished to harbour within her body pink flesh and fair skin, and thus without difficulty unmatched physiologically a princess was born Hello little Snow-White!
Later when such tales were dim when symbols were shatterd and Freud mattered more than Grimm red fell upon white when Lily and Ted in the hotel bed bloodied the sheet Hello little Rose-Red!
The tale is sad. Both Snow White and Rose Red were beaten and eaten.
