Moonlight sifted across the landOn the silver mirror in my handAnd showed me a world in redWhere a hundred ants slowly treadAnd a marching band sang a songThe Duke thought 'twas too longAnd tired he looked to the skyWhere a lonely dragon did flyInto a rainbow in black and whitePrancing pony in a field of...

Trial – VI
“Scant not a sight shall I upon you throw But with a penetrating gaze shall I stare, In this mockery justice, court you: March me forth to my fall, the stair That paltry men palpitate ere the climb, Fall ere the finger descends, die within Ere the first stroke of the last Sun; O Ye'...
