William Blake, The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun, 1805-1810, the second painting with that title (of the same subject but from a different perspective from that in the more famous first painting, which featured in the book and film of Red Dragon best known for Hannibal Lecter), second of a series of four Great Red Dragon paintings, and part of a series of paintings illustrating the Book of Apocalypse
In my end of the world,
the sun is black,
the moon is red,
and the stars fall screaming from the sky.
Dark enough for you?
*
I was gored by the horns of God.
His left horn was death,
His right horn was the devil,
and in between where there should have been a face
there was only an abyss.
*
We were all judged –
many were sacrificed
and no one was saved.
*
There were visions in those days.
