"He had several favourite retreats"



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

  1. 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!

  4. I am finding the quotes from a book I have just read terribly disconcerting :-)

    I think I had better focus on the pics.
