[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5036991, member: 54707"] Well, I don't know nothing about Quenta or the scientific biology of flying show-ponies and that kinda stuff, but this whole thing reminds me a lot of a song I wrote for a coupla buddies of mine who wanted something to sing at their Ren-Faire. It worked out pretty good a-capella. Not so good when accompanied on lyre, harp, and the pan-flute. I think the hard-rock riff I wrote for the solo was really better suited to the electric oboe. I once to the Wild World to discover the truth And into that wild world I stumbled forsooth, It rumbled, and roared, and it scratched, and it clawed It tore, and it bled red, and with mouth it did maul, And vicious in nature it soon wore me down It was bloody and 'mazing, and shaped to astound, But the miracles I saw there were all part of me For whatever is Real there is by Law guaranteed; But then to the Myth, and to Magic I went Where the night fills with spirits, and the law all is spent, Where the blood may be silver, and the claw may be bronze Where the eye shines like sapphire, and chimeras do spawn, For the wonder of What-Not is never quite known And the trek of your frontier is wherever you roam, For men know their nature, and Nature knows Man But deep beyond Riddle there's an untested span, For when you creep through the jungle, then the jungle roars back But when the person imagines then enigmas look back, And the woods under moon are like primitive times But the Demons that haunt us are all in the Mind, So I've no long dispute with the cult of this world For within her confines the Serpents lay curled, But Dragons best wander and Giants best stand Not in the Mundane, but the Soul of the Man.
