| OFFSPRING OF HELL – FANGED & DEADLY RATTLER – SHADE OF DEVIL | |||
| Lambourne caricatures two creatures that he found especially abhorrent. He encountered a rattlesnake as he hiked in the hills of his island. "Hideous was that rattle – a music of hell!" (Inland Sea, pp. 108-110) He was also constantly pestered by a raven, whose obnoxious cawing tormented his placid silence. He comments: "A huge raven that circled around and around, and uttered its dismal croaks just above the island peak...Was that sable thing a living bird? Or was it the shade of Devil?" (p. 256) This raven, which he named "Devil," was a frequent companion at Lambourne’s cabin, providing hideous serenades morning and night. | |||
