Counting down to Halloween night.
The monsters are lining up: who’s next? Barging to the front, here come the dragons:
Quote:
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
I suppose that was the first poem I ever learned by heart.
Despite the easy one-two one-two with which the vorpal blade goes snickersnack against Jabberwocky, most dragons are quite harmful and hard to kill. Think of the terrible dragon Smaug and his joyless destructive greed!
Nonetheless, dragons aren’t the worst among monsters. The damage they do is possibly not all due to malevolence. Possibly. I think I have a soft spot in my own armor over dragons because I read
The Reluctant Dragon
when I was a kid. Written in 1898 by Kenneth Grahame, who went on to write
The Wind in the Willows
, its dragon makes peace with St. George very sweetly.
May we all make peace with our individual dragons, and I’ll hope to see you tomorrow!
