Atalanta Fugiens · 1618 · Emblem L
Draco mulierem, et haec illum interimit, simulque sanguine perfunduntur.
The dragon kills the woman and she kills him, and together they are bathed in blood.
The last emblem: mutual death, and both drenched in the red. The end of the book is the reddening.
What in you has to die together with its opposite?
