Listen for a splash of water. Water cascaded down heaving flanks, and the unicorn shook his mane, water droplets flying like ice. -- Alice L. Raven, "Down By the Sea" (2005) Whether for drinking, cleaning, playing, or contemplating, unicorns love water. Accounts of unicorns' water splashing in literature include: Halo spoke with a voice that sounded as beautiful and pure as the sweet trickling of fresh spring water. "We feel as though we know you all so well after watching you for so many years." -- Jasper Cooper, Cassandra's Gift (2006) The murmuring of fountains mingles with the neighing of unicorns. You shall hear them; and the face of the Unknown shall be unveiled! -- Gustave Flaubert, The Temptation of Saint Anthony (1874)
