silent desert night—
                                 a shadow curls its tail high,
                                                                ___          .--.

                                                           /             .-'           `' -.
                                                          |         .'                       \

                                                          (o o)   |        \      /     |/

                                                           //\        \__/      \__/
                                                          || |       .'      /^\      '.
                                                          ((_)      /      (       )     \
                                                                      \        `-'        /
                                                                          `.__     __.'
                                                                               `"""`
                                                            sting beneath the stars.
