"He had several favourite retreats" - Remembering Babylon by David Malouf

pescado del dia said...: Enter darkness. Leave the light.
Here be nightmare. Here be fright.
Here be dragon, flame and flight.
Here be spit-fire. Here be grief.
So curse the bones of unbelief.
Curse the creeping treasure-thief.
Curse much worse the dragon-slayer.
Curse his purse and curse his payer.
Curse these words. Preserve their sayer.
Earth and water, fire and air.
Prepare to meet a creature rare.
Enter, now, if you dare.
Enter, now... the dragon's lair!; 04 August, 2009 23:24

I think I had better focus on the pics.; 05 August, 2009 12:07

Joan Elizabeth, yes, it's totally different if you read the book - like I do ;-); 05 August, 2009 18:26

Martina said...: AB, I really have to hold back not to post _only_ gargoyles and chimera ;-) (besides some nice street art); 09 August, 2009 11:03
