2. “There is nothing in the nature of the yahmur which would oblige the artist to depict it with a single horn. The modern dictionaries designate it as a wild ass or onager, without an allusion to horn or horns.”– Richard Ettinghausen, Studies in Muslim Iconography I. The Unicorn (Smithsonian Institution, Freer Gallery of Art Occasional Papers, vol. I, No. 3.), 1950
3. The black unicorn is greedy.The black unicorn is impatient.
The black unicorn was mistaken
for a shadow
or symbol
and taken
through a cold country
where mist painted mockeries
of my fury.
It is not on her lap where the horn rests
but deep in her moonpit
growing.
The black unicorn is restless
the black unicorn is unrelenting
the black unicorn is not
free.
– Audre Lorde, “The Black Unicorn” in The Black Unicorn: Poems, 1978
