Description
70 x 70 cm;
"The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.
[...]
And when he had beat him out,
He beat him in again;
He beat him three times over,
His power to maintain."
The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), pp. 442-3.
The End.
Only as the Malchut King go forth and reach Keter's energy.

Interesting. I had always heard the second verse as:
Some gave them white bread, and some gave them brown;
Some gave them [I don't recall this bit], and cast them out of town.
Differing views of the monarchy, I suppose.

You are right, this is why I put the '[...]' mark, and the second part was written someting like 100 years later in late XVIII century I think.

That's cool. It's interesting how art (in this case, poetry) changes over time. Thanks for the info.

The atypical colors and fluid brushstrokes really make this work.
