"Thou shalt sail on to such a place

Among the pagan seas," it said;

"To such a land: and thou shalt face

Against it when the east is red,

And cry aloud, 'Great Pan is dead!'"...

As fearful of unholy word

Their souls stood stricken with strange fear.

Then Thamus said, "Yea, I have heard.

Yet 'tis my purpose still to steer

Straight on. That land shall never hear!"
