  1. The Legend of La Gargouille • Cave near the river Seine • the people of Rouen would feed him a live victim each year • St. Romanus, a priest, came to Rouen about 600 A.D • St. Romanus and that year's convict w/ equipment of exorcism • led La Gargouille by a leash fashioned from the priest's robe • Villagers tied the dragon to a stake & burnt him. Only the neck and head did not burn; they were accustomed to being heated by the dragon's fiery breath.

  2. Take A Look Around You from “A Love Of Monsters” They crouch in the corners and lurk under windows.They curl around drainpipes and blend into doorways.They’re so clever at hiding most folks won’t see them at all.But I know where the monsters live. I see then all the time. If your heart is understanding and your eyes remember wonder, Then take a quite stroll with me and see what you can find. The gargoyle often makes his perch On a cathedral or a church Where, mid-ecclesiastic style He smiles an early Gothic smile - Oliver Herford Gargoyle Poetry
