Description

Collaboration with :iconriver-hrossa:
One of the animal guardians at Fortunate Islands, from Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, book XV

[...]It raises - all bleak gold scales -
its crests and head, swells its neck with rage;
its eyes burn, the whole path unseen lies
under that belly; it blows venom and smoke
[...]


Published in the US anthology Emanations: Third Eye www.iaemanations.blogspot.it/
