Dragon is the category of primate predator. Predator is a weird category, right? Because there's crocodiles in it, and then there's lions. And they don't have much in common except that they eat you. So it's a functional category. So the dragon is the imagistic representation of the functional category of predator. It's like this: If you're a monkey, then a bird will pick you off, like an eagle. That's the wings. If it wasn't an eagle, then it was a cat (dragon claws), because they climb trees and give you a good chomping. And if it wasn't a cat, then you go down to the ground and a snake would get you, or maybe the snake would climb up the tree. So a dragon is a cat-snake-bird. And that's the thing that you really want to avoid. An the other thing is that it breathes fire, which is interesting because fire was both greatest friend and greatest enemy of humanity. (Jordan Peterson)

My spring has been much better than every travelling springs of the last two years - I have been working - or trying to work my garden into a kind of permanent shape... At the moment I have three rose bushes so full of red and yellow roses that they look on fire - they are really astonishing - You would really laugh to see them - two are very tall - the other smaller - It is a rose that is the reddest red on top and yellow underneath - then sometimes a few spots that are deep butter yellow - and an odd iris - dirty lavender petals reaching up - a pale lavender mixed with yellow that greys it and yellow petals mixed with a little lavender drooping down - very handsome - There are lots of ordinary colors too - many kinds. Well - that's my life. View quote

The whole universe was stilled as if listening for a voice. For the space of one heartbeat there was peace on earth. For one fraction of a moment there was no deed of violence wrought on earth, no hatred, no fire, no whirlwind, no pain, no fear. Existence rested against the heart of God, then sighed and journeyed again. View quote

I will make an average man into an average dancer, provided he be passably well made. I will teach him how to move his arms and legs, to turn his head. I will give him steadiness, brilliancy and speed; but I cannot endow him with that fire and intelligence, those graces and that expression of feeling which is the soul of true pantomime. View quote

I feel more Irish than English. I feel freer than British, more visceral, with a love of language. Shot through with fire in some way.
