Where demons delve for orichalch and steel

To forge the racks of Satan! On thy face,

Detestable and evil as might haunt

The last delirium of a dying hag,

Or necromancer’s madness, fall thy locks,

Like sodden reeds that trail in Acheron

From shores of night and horror! And thy hands,

Like roots of cypresses uptorn in storm

That still retain their grisly provender,

Make the glad wine and manna of the skies
