When I waked, I cried to dream again
Gargoyles were the complement to saints; Leonardo's caricatures were complementary to his untiring search for ideal beauty. And gargoyles were the expression of all the passions, the animal forces, the Caliban gruntings and groanings which are left in human nature when the divine has been poured away. Leonardo was less concerned than his Gothic predecessors with the ethereal parts of our nature, and so his caricatures, in their expression of passionate energy, merge imperceptibly into the heroic.
Evil is such a simplistic way to describe any character, be it Iago or Caliban, or any character from history.
Why what a fool was I to this drunken monster for a God. - Caliban
If you had told Sycorax that her son Caliban was as handsome as Apollo, she would have been pleased, witch as she was.
