If we never met,
never fell in love,
never killed each other,

I hate Paris,
hate Britain,
hate hidden in the dark,
hate and remorse the betrayed him.

The "Gargoyles" episode 'Pendragon' premiered on this day way, way back in 1996. A very fun episode where we checked back in on Manhattan while Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx were on their World Tour.

Returning to Hilda af Klint, this is her extraordinary watercolour, 'A Map of Great Britain,' (1932), in which she said she foresaw the Second World War. A pale face blows fire towards Britain.
