Dragon – Kakuzo Okakura
He is the spirit of change, therefore of life itself. Hidden in the caves of inaccessible mountains Or coiled in the unfathomable depth of the sea, He awaits the time when he slowly rouses himself to activity.
He unfolds himself in the storm clouds; He washes his mane in the blackness of the seething whirlpools.
His claws are forks of lightening --- His voice is heard in the hurricane Which scattering the withered leaves of the forest, Quickens a new spring --- |
