This is the first line of a
play that I like:
Hipogrifo violento
que corriste parejas con el viento,
¿dónde, rayo sin llama,
pájaro sin matiz, pez sin escama,
y bruto sin instinto
natural, al confuso laberinto
de esas desnudas peñas
te desbocas, te arrastras y despeñas?
I don't know if there is an english translation, but you can
read it in spanish if you can and want to.
I knew a hippogriff was some sort of mythological creature, but I tried to figure out what it was specifically.
It is
not exactly what I expected. It is not as obscure as I had thought. They even have one in a Harry Potter movie.
