(the)Keeper of Antiquities...(novel by Yury Dombrovsky)
dragons , dragons everywhere and not a sword in sight !
sight unseen
(hamburger, twice this week I have come across that line -
dragons, dragons everywhere and not a sword in sight.
What is it from?
It has the same cadence as-
water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink
(from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
Sorry, but I cannot trace it and it is bugging me.)
