I have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens.
My nightly craft is winged in white, a dragon of night dark sea.
Swift born, dream bound and rudderless, her captain and crew are me.

And only my white-winged craft and I know the wonders we have seen.
Dragon kind was no less cruel than mankind. The Dragon, at least, acted from bestial need rather than bestial greed.”
