George Beattie - John o' Arnha'; to which is added The Murderit Mynstrell, & other Poems, 1826

"A stalwart monster, huge in size, Did streight frae out the river rise, His legs were horn, wi joints o' steel, This body like a crocodile..."

  "Grim furies spread their forkit fangs, An drove at John wi furious bangs..."

  "The Kelpy tried we John to grapple, But Arn caught him by the thrapple, And gar'd his carcase sweep the stanners, Whilk made a noise like corn fanners..."

  "Her coatties pat the knees were kiltit, In eldrich notes she croone'd an' liltit..."

  "Sae fently did she wing her flight, In a twinklin' she was out o' sight... "

"Sadeghi is one of the most prolific and successful Iranian painters and artists from the second half of the 20th century to today. Born in 1937, Sadeghi is famous for his drawings, paintings and films are part of a well developed Iranian surrealist movement which was prominent from the 1970's until today. 

 Much of Sadeghi's inspiration comes from historical books including the Shahnameh where he uses cultural motifs and myths for the basis of his work. He initiated a special style in Persian painting, influenced by Coffee House painting, iconography, and traditional Iranian portrait painting, following the Qajar tradition - a mixture of a kind of surrealism, influenced by the art of stained glass." - quote source 

Artworks found at 50 Watts, The Real Riviera, Dastan Gallery and the artist's official site.
