Triste et Triomphe

Death of Hazel, Watership Down
Drawing by LinaDolz
Hazel's death is attended by El-ahrairah who invites him to join his Owsla. As they are leaving the warren, Hazel decides he does not need his body anymore and leaves it lying by a creek. It is odd that the two most moving deaths and eventual triumphs in literature, to me, are about rabbits. I only use a rabbit on this site to have a contrast between such a gentle creature and the extreme violence and neurosis of Billy Scribbles.
