I draw me from the unreluctant dead

The rightful meat my belly’s law demands.***

Eaters of death are all: Life shall not live,

Save that its food be death; No atomy

In any star, or heaven’s remotest moon,

But hath a billion billion times been made

The food of insatiable life, and food

Of death insatiate: For all is change—

Change, that hath wrought the chancre and the rose,

And wrought the star, and wrought the sapphire-stone,
