A puzzle.

I know it's not verse thursday or anything, but I saw this poem and remembered the first time it was shown to me, so I want to see if any of you can guess what the creature here described is (it's also the name of the poem). The author, BTW, is G.K. Chesterton. And if you know this one, don't ruin it for the rest.

When forests walked and fishes flew
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood,
Then, surely, I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening bray
And ears like errant wings—
The devil's walking parody
Of all four-footed things:

The battered outlaw of the earth
Of ancient crooked will;
Scourge, beat, deride me—I am dumb—
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour—
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout around my head
And palms about my feet.

You know, I can put up with a lot of shit. Ask anyone who's known me for a while, and they'll tell you that I have one of the slowest tempers they have ever seen. So it has caught even me by surprise that someone on my friends list has angered me enough to make me boot them. So, I hope you enjoy your community of belittling people just to make yourself feel like a better person -when really, you're just normal like the rest of us- because, that's the reason you're off my list. Sorry. I know 12 year olds more mature than that.

*points at various aspects of journal* New mood theme, new background, and thinking about redoing my userinfo so it's actually... sort of interest. x.x;; Plus I just plain want decent banners and stuff to all my games and communities.

Hmmn... maybe maybe... also want to make some Malice Mizer bases, since I dled a whole bunch of pics the other night. I guess we'll see...

Uhn. Migraine. I hate these. I just want to crawl into my bed and die sleep for the next few centuries or so. The fact that it's so cold isn't helping, either. Apparantly, it went down to around -45Celcius after windchill today. 'Bout time we got some real Canadian weather. No more of this pansy-ass Ontario garbage. We get a real winter now.

And what the fuck is up with my computer? It shouldn't take ten minutes to load fucking google. >:| Especially when hotmail loads in two minutes... And apparantly I can't get to any page that's not hotmail or LJ... >.< *beats computer*
