In order to escape the beast the traveler hides in an empty well, but at the bottom of the well he sees a dragon with its jaws open, ready to devour him.

| 832c4ae | Death is before me today: Like the recovery of a sick man, Like going forth into a garden after sickness. Death is before me today: Like the odor of myrrh, Like sitting under a sail in a good wind.

Death is before me today: Like the home that a man longs to see, After years spent as a captive. | Neil Gaiman | ||
