Excerpts from the invocation to "The Lizard's Cry" by Yasmine Gooneratne:
- Live long, O little Lizard of tenacious foot and steadfast eye!
- Your throat vibrating beats to our defeat and victory!
- ...
- Lizard of alert & shining eye
- Lizard witness of each private anguish
- ...
- Scion of a line of trusted Heralds
- Enemy of the fly and the malicious spider
- watchman of evil, ...
- whose alarm broke the silence...
- who hung watchful...
- whose chirrup warned of weather
- ...
- Guardian of the ravaged courtyard,
- cry now.
- ...
