"With teeth gnashing the beast tried to bite him.
It sought to rend his flesh and limb from limb.
With shield raised, out of the cave backed the knight,
Thrusting with his spear with all of his might.
Once in the open the dragon unfurled
Its stout wings and a snort of fire it hurled.
The scaly head towered twice the knight's height..."
The Last Dragon.

"The valley was full of choking jungle tangle.
Vines and creepers ran up trees they tried to strangle.
It was steaming hot and as still as an old grave.
There was not enough wind the smallest leaf to wave.
No monkey called and no bird sang its morning song.
The whole air was hostile, only death did belong."
