Orestes fled the Furies, won his peace

Through Apollo in old Greece.

But who unbars the mouse traps of your world,

Or kills the ambushed serpent where it's curled?

Your Fates return, and Fortinbras draws in

On Hamlet's impotence and Gertrude's sin.

All oceans in a raindrop, drops of dew

Containing perfect heavens starred and blue;

Angels who mother Calibans, and hopes

Are of your vision—great mosaics hued
