Terri's Unicorn Grove

I've always loved horses and found the idea of Unicorns very intriguing. I believe in Unicorns and hope someday to meet one of these beautiful animals.

The Unicorn was a mystical creature described in ancient Greek and Roman myths. They were placed among virgin saints and said to be an emblem of purity. Though it would fight savagely when cornered, it could be tamed by a virgin's touch. During the Middle Ages, and even later, the unicorn's horn (as it was alleged to be), because of its fabled purity, was a popular ingredient for medicines and for alchemical reactions. Potentates and pontiffs obtained reputed unicorn's horn because it was considered a strong protection against poison. The horn was also believed to ward off stomach trouble and epilepsy. The Unicorn is found throughout world legends.

"But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn, I shall be anointed with fresh oil."
Unicorn Psalms 92:10

"He hath as it were the strength of a unicorn"
The Book of Numbers

"Will the Unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by the crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?"
Job 39:9, 10

The Lost Unicorn

Oh how in our childlike hearts still we mourn
The passing of the Unicorn.
Of gentle beauty and infinite grace,
A creature unfit for our worlds pace.
Yet Wait! For who's to say?

Perhaps even now in some far distant forest glade,
There still moves quietly in the cool and leafy shade.
That timeless creature of a golden age,
That spirit of a shining dawn,
That magic beast The Unicorn.

--Unknown

"Now I will believe that there are unicorns..."
William Shakespeare; The Tempest

"Then what is magic for? What use is wizardry if it cannot save a unicorn?"
Peter S. Beagle; The Last Unicorn

"Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too?
I never saw one alive before! Well, now that we have seen each other,'
said the unicorn, 'If you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you."
Lewis Carroll; Through the Looking Glass

The Unicorn is noble
He knows his gentle birth,
He knows that God has chosen him
Above all beasts of Earth.

The Unicorn is noble
He keeps him safe and high
Upon a narrow path and steep
Climbing to the sky.

And there no man can take him,
He scorns the hunter’s dart,
And only a virgin’s magic power
Shall tame his haughty heart.

What be now the state of us
But for this Unicorn,
And what would be the fate of us,
Poor sinners, lost, forlorn?

Oh, may he lead us on and up,
Unworthy though we be,
Into his father's kingdom,
To dwell eternally.

--German Folk Song.
