"To this day, it is
said, malicious animals poison this water
after sundown, so that none
can thereupon drink it. But
early in the morning, as
soon as the sun rises, a unicorn
comes out of the ocean, dips
his horn into the water to expel the venom from it so that the
other animals may drink
thereof during the day. This
as I describe it. I saw it with my
own eyes."
--Johannes
van Hesse of Utrecht; 1389

we gazed back at this most
noble creature, regretting
it was no closer for us to examine still more minutely."

The most common unicorn
was the white unicorn. But, there was, however, black unicorns.
They were very rare because
they had more magical
capabilites than the white unicorn.
Some people believe
unicorns are goat like creatures with a
single horn.
Others say they are similar to horses, of course, with a horn. I have seen a
unicorn (in my dreams) and it
looked more like a horse
than a goat.
In the night, night

that there are unicorns..."
--William Shakespeare; The Tempest
"Each month the
unicorns gathered at dusk to dance in a
Circle under the full, dusky
moon.
They were the only race they
knew of that did so. For when
Alma made the world, she
fashioned all the other creatures
first, out of earth,
wind, water, and air--then invited them to dance. But the pans turned
wordless away from her, and
the gryphons flew to find
mountains to
nest in, and the red dragons burrowed deep into the
Smoking Hills, and the
wyverns laughed.
So Alma created the unicorns after her own shape:
sleek-bodied and long-limbed
for swift running, wild-hearted and hot-blooded to make them
brave warriors.
Then she took from the cycling moon some of its shining stuff to fashion
their hooves and
horns and make them dancers.
So the last-born and best-beloved ofAlma called themselves also the moon's
children, and each month danced the ringdance under the round,
rising moon."
--Meredith
Ann Pierce; Birth of the Firebringer

leapfrog with a unicorn
--Tibetan proverb
"Once, long ago,
before there was such a thing as time, the
world was shrouded in
darkness.
Then came the splendor of
light, bringing life and love into
the Universe, and the Lord
of Darkness
retreated deep into the shadows of Earth, ploting his return to power . . . by
banishing light forever. But precious light is protected, harbored in the
souls of Unicorns,
the most mystical of all creatures. Unicorns are safe from the Lord of
Darkness, they can only be found by the purest of mortals .
. . Such a mortal is
Jack, who lives in solitude with the
animals of the forest.A
beautiful girl named Lily loves Jack with all her heart. In
their innocence they believe
only
goodness exists in the world.
Together they will learn
there can be no good without evil . . . no love without hate . . . no
heaven without hell . . . no
light without darkness.
The harmony of the Universe
depends upon an enternal
balance. Out of the struggle
to maintain this
balance comes the birth of Legends."
--From the movie "Legend"
