$"On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, 'I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run.  But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow.  But there is the dragon.  I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven.  Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.'"
     -Life of Confucius
"This Dragon had Two furious Wings
   Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
   Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws 
   Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
   Which did him round environ."

"Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
     For thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
    Life is very long"
	-T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men"
