======================================

The Beautiful Ugly Monstrous Lion

His teeth drip as he clamps down upon her mortal wrist. He
will have her after the day closes. He will sire with her this very
night a human son whom he will then teach the art of hunting and
spell-binding. His son will have the ability to change from human to
lion and then back to human again. Like his father ... he will
be loved by women and feared by men. The lion clamps down
harder upon the woman's wrist. He is more than an African legend.
He is a diamond studded, 14 karat yellow gold bangle. He is
Beautiful. He is Ugly. He is Monstrous.

It is a Victorian era piece of jewelry. No date of fabrication
given. No artist's name to give credit to. No manufacturer
listed to whom one might pay homage. And yet ... does it
matter? Better perhaps that it all be unknown ... allowing
purity of vision without influence of name. This critter's a stunner.
Do we need more?

Legends of lions abound. Lilith the Demoness stands upon the
backs of two lions. Her purpose is unclear. In alchemy the red
lion--sulphur--is the male principle. Leonine or Lion-Hearted
suggests power and courage and strength. Conversely ... the
lion also represents cruelty and ferociousness and war.

It ain't no simple animal that rests upon this woman's wrist.
He's a complex being. He's the eighth card of the Tarot Major
Arcana. He was companion to Artemis and Dionysus and the
Gorgons. He is a cape after he is slain by Hercules who then
wears his skin over his shoulder.

Ladees and gennulmen ... I will not bore you with mythological
bushwah. I will show you one and all that beauty is monstrous
and monstrous is beauty.

For those of you who are new to this thing called
Tidbits...may I direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where
you will scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that
says Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Lion
.... in order to view a creature that commands attention ... even if it
is only a bangle.

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.
Benjamin Mark
