Description
Richard Adams was an author dear to my heart. I read Watership Down 12 times and Plague Dogs twice. Bright Eyes is one of my favorite songs, and I took the name Black Rabbit as an artist tag to pay homage. I feel this picture and poem is the least I can do.Winterβs wind blew cold when you passed that day
Bright Eyes burned brightly before they faded to grey
A ghostly rabbit beckoned you to sleep and follow
And I feel a piece of me will forever be hollow
But I will always know and love those that I found
Of the characters living on the grassy hill of Watership Down

For him...
Black Rabbit: Richard Adams? You know me, don't you?
[the visitor reveals himself as The Black Rabbit]
Black Rabbit: I've come to ask if you would like to join my Owsla. We shall be glad to have you, and I know you'd like it. You've been feeling tired, haven't you? If you're ready, we might go along now.
[Author pauses to look back at his rabbits and family]
Black Rabbit: You needn't worry about them. They'll be alright, and thousands like them. If you'll come along, I'll show you what I mean.
