Where now the world
That glittered once golden --
That through lilt vision,
Perfume and tincture,
Summarily slew,
With potence and ardour,
Such shades verdure
In blight rumination?!
There now, a dream--
Or memoir of a specter,
Stripped of its aura
Plumed drusile serene.
Begowned hues ashen,
Now driftsick, careened,
Remotest dominion,
Thus e’er conceived.
What source, unrest,
Wept ambit sunder,
And dreamer drown
In chalice madden?
Wherefrom thy quest
Which soul sequestereth,
Yet crown to roam
Horizonless?
What Sun doth summon
Aye, knowingly so,
He, who with last exhalation
Should answer?
What son, enraptured,
All quarter forego,
Consigneth his essence
To oceans eternal?
Angle predestine
Headlong futile.
Sleet-scarred the querent,
League-marred the craft.
Channel revolving
Dissolveth hydral.
Chromium complectere
Spindle anfract.
Falter helmsman, ulterior.
Overwhelm, vitreous shroud.
Envelop whole, marmoreal.
Quell aphonic, depth profound.
Immersion syncopal.
Descend anoxia.
Cognition rescindere.
Enantiodromia.
Fall lord, brink through.
Break forth orb black.
