"The Dandelion Girl" is a short story written by Robert F. Young, an American science fiction writer. Published in April 1961, the story follows the middle-aged Mark Randolph, a lawyer who is on vacation in September 1961. He travels to a rural area just outside of the city where he works, and one day, encounters a young woman named Julie Danvers in a wooded area. She professes that she is from the year 2201 and that her father has a time machine. Despite initially being skeptical of Julie's stories, Mark finds himself captivated by her fanciful imagination and begins to fall in love with her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The short story itself may be read here; reviewers have found the story to be poignant and leave a strong impression on readers. The main quote in the story served as the inspiration for the anime RahXephon. It is also referenced in CLANNAD and Portal 2.

Born in the Wrong Century: By 2201, urbanisation has largely displaced nature, and Julie travels back to The '60s to experience the pristine landscape before urban sprawl replaces the woodland.

Arc Words: Julie's phrase is mentioned exactly six times in the short story and is the only line to be repeated in its entirety. This phrase pertains to how love, like the things Julie sees, is more significant and grandiose as time passes.
