/// His head rests in her lap with no urgin’—
like all unicorns: drawn to a virgin.
Young men flee her in dread.
Try for her maidenhead;
you’ll be gored and in need of a surgeon.

The Lady and the Unicorn series of tapestries representing the 5 senses at the Cluny medieval museum in Paris is absolutely breathtaking…

Back in medieval times, Unicorns were envisioned as being more goat-like than horse-like, so the size makes sense.

This work, by Signore Giorgione/
Is unmistakably phony/
It’s not just the pose-/
It’s that anyone knows/
That you can’t grow a horn on a pony.

This unicorn may be appearing/
on Britainia’s coat of arms, and rearing/
But for now he seems happy/
with his head in the lappie/
Of that lassie who finds horns endearing !

It is difficult not to scorn/
A horse who is born with a horn/
But it may be symbolic/
Of an imminent frolic/
So it may be too early to mourn..
