The Mermaid

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

-William Butler Yeats

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love"

ナイトメアの背景に描かれる有翼のユニコーン。詩人イェイツによれば"恍惚とした破壊"の象徴だとか…意味深ですね。

The winged unicorns in the background of Nightmare is a symbol of "ecstatic destruction", according to W. B. Yeats. It's very meaningful.
