Sam Selvon wrote two novels about a character nicknamed for this animal and his wife Urmilla, including A Brighter Sun. These animals are called "Bright topaz denizens of a world of green" who "pace in sleek chivalric certainty" in a poem describing how they "prance upon a screen." That poem by Adrienne Rich describes how they are sewn onto a panel by Aunt Jennifer. One of these animals roams freely throughout a country house in Julio Cortazar's short story "Bestiary." A drunken old sailor dreams of catching these animals "in red weather" in Wallace Stevens' poem "Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock." Borges wrote a short book about the "dream" type of these animals, while Aravind Adiga wrote a novel about a white one. For 10 points, name these animals whose "fearful symmetry" is described in a poem by William Blake.
