Description
In the setting sun, raindrops darken into spotted markings and the nightly jaguar begins his journey through the dark jungle, where the wind whistles to the monkey's chatter. As the night ends, he climbs into the canopy at the jungle's edge, springs into the ocean, and rises again with the sun. Burton Albert's text was inspired by a Mayan urn from A.D. 600 - 900. The paintings by Robert Roth bring his special vision to the poetry as they evoke the mystery of the lordly jaguar's journey through the night.
