I am a monster, stranger and more alien
Than the Harpy, the Chimera, or the Siren.
Neither on land, in the air or in the sea are there creatures
Whose limbs can have so many features;
No one piece of me with another conforms
Any more than if one is cool, the other, warm.
A band of hunters often follows behind me
Looking for the tracks left by my feet.
I inhabit the darkest realms of night,
And if I pass from the shadows into bright light
My soul quickly slips away with the coming of the day
And my tired limbs fall away,
And I lose my being with my life and with my name.
~ Galileo Galilei
