"Atenție, nelegiuiții pe două roți nu mai sunt la porțile orașului! Sunt chiar printre noi!" Așa ar fi sunat titlul vreunui ziar local din America anilor 1960 după ce Hell’s Angels ar fi dat năvală în oraș, doar ca să se distreze în stilul lor caracteristic: motoare, raiduri, femei, droguri și bere.

And in Harrisville, Rhode Island, a vision of fearful banshees augured death to an Irish seer.

শিব! মহাদেব! দেবতাদের দেবতা! দুষ্টের বিনাশকারী! উদ্দাম প্রেমিক! দুদ্ধর্ষ যোদ্ধা! অনবদ্য নর্তক! ব্যক্তিত্ববান নায়ক! সর্বশক্তিমান তবুও অবিনশ্বর। যদি শিব উর্বর কল্পনাপ্রসূত না হয়ে কোনো রক্তমাংসের মানুষ হন? এই তোমার আমার মতো? একজন মানুষ যে তার কর্মের ফলে দেবত্বে উপনীত হয়েছেন? এটাই শিব রচনাত্রয়ের ভিত্তি যা কল্পনা ও ঐতিহাসিক ঘটনার সংমিশ্রনে প্রাচীন ভারতের সমৃদ্ধ পৌরাণিক ঐতিহ্য ব্যাখ্যায় প্রয়াসী হয়েছে। এই রচনা প্রভু শিব ও তার জীবন আমাদের যে শিক্ষা দিয়েছে তার প্রতি শ্রদ্ধার্ঘ।

Guests at the LaBorde Hotel in Rio Grande City report visions of the Red Lady, who was spurned by the soldier she loved and driven to suicide.
