Description
Used extraordinary high quality artists coal pencils for this one (was a present, many years ago, thought I should try it once) and ink on paper, german size A4.On the back, I wrote a poem by Hermann Hesse, that's why the title got that name. (Reading currently some of his poems)
Sphinxe
Das ist die tiefste Lebenslist:
Den Ort auf jedem Wege wissen,
Wo seine Sphinx verborgen ist.
Ich fand im Leben keinen Tag
In dessen Tiefe grinsend nicht
Das zwiegestalte Scheusal lag.
Ich bin ihr oft vorbeigegangen
Und sah den grünen Hungerblick
An meinen Schritten gierig hangen.
Ich schritt vorbei und grüßte sie
Mit freundlich bösen Kenneraugen:
Noch immer munter, gutes Vieh?
Sie kennt nun lang schon mein Gesicht
Und folgt mir mit mürrischen Tigerblicken,
Aber die Krallen zeigt sie nicht.
Cat on the right shoulder is a Margay (the Greta Garbo of the big cats, I read somewhere) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margay , in the left, I was inspired by a picture in a magazine, a fossil of a bird in stone, when I remember right. Looks different irl, I practised artisic freedom
“I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.”
Greta Garbo

Which links you're missing? They can talk? While Gilgamesh isn't looking, a snake comes up and steals the plant. As the snake slithers away, it sheds its old skin—maybe because the plant has rejuvenated it? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_…

Some links talk plenty once they are found. I assumed that was an archaeopteryx in your drawing, one of the original 'missing links.'

I created my own archaeopteryx in a way, with a picture of a real one. So, your assumtion was right somehow and who knows... Maybe this bird will became that cat after a "while"
