The Dragon’s Breath – Merlin at Tintagel 

Description

So the legend goes…

Ygraine is the Queen of sorrow her story one of love and loss. 

But she is also Queen Mother and her story is one of strength gained through sacrifice 

so the legend goes…

Below are the words from the poem ‘Queen Ygraine’ which inspired this piece

Tintagel lifted to the sky;

The savage winds did wail…

Uther wore a cloak and hood,

So did Merlin too.

They crossed a land of knotted wood – 

The air as thick as stew…

Merlin conjured up a mist –

A veil of secrecy…

(excerpt from the book Queens of Avalon)

The rest of the poem and many more old tales and artwork can be found in the Queens of Avalon book.
