"Real magic can never be made by offering up someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back. The true witches know that."

"The Ghosts of Gaelic" rambles on about Scottish Gaelic like it's the last unicorn 🦄, desperately clinging to a bygone era while English has long snatched the crown 👑. Spoiler alert: It's like watching paint dry, but with more kilts. 🥱

"Take me with you. I might be useful. I know the way into Haggard's country.... No wanderer was ever the worse for a wizard's company, even a unicorn.... Take me with you, for laughs, for luck, for the unknown. Take me with you."
- Peter S. Beagle, "The Last Unicorn"

He followed her, never once looking back. even when he heard... the boom of bronze wings, and Rukh's interrupted scream.
"He ran," the unicorn said. "You should never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention."

Es ist selten, dass für mich ein Cover das Original erreicht oder dessen Magie sogar noch überschreiten kann. Doch hier ist es der Fall 🥹

"I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep [or] die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret."
- Peter S. Beagle, "The Last Unicorn"

"I am what I am. I would tell you what you want to know if I could, for you have been kind to me. But I am a cat, and no cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer.”

"Why do the leaves never fall here? Or the snow? Why is it always spring here? I tell you there is one last unicorn left in the world, and as long as it lives in this forest, we'll find no game to hunt here."

"The harpy's as real as you are, and just as immortal. And she was just as easy to catch, if you want to know."
"Do not boast, old woman. Your death sits in that cage, and she hears you."

"And you look to the north,
And a pale moon is rising"
This is a line from America's The Last Unicorn, which leaves me with two questions:
1) does it imply that the moon is rising in the north?
2) where on earth is it possible for the moon to rise in the north? (Only on the southern hemisphere, or am I mistaken?)
When I was in #LosAngeles last weekend, we went to a gallery showing of original artwork inspired by the #LastUnicorn.
This was my favorite piece. Unfortunately, someone had already beat me to it!
Mystery Purchaser, wherever you are: well played.

The High Priestess
“The unicorn whispered, “Weaver, freedom is better, freedom is better.”, but the spider fled unhearing up and down her iron loom. She never stopped for a moment, even when the unicorn cried, “It’s really very attractive, Arachne, but it’s not art.”

“You have let your doom in by the front door, but it will not depart that way. I would explain myself more fully, but I am no longer in your service…””Farewell, poor Haggard! I would not be you for all the world!”
