Twice, like Francesca; for he struck but twice.

At that, rage thrust down pity; for it seemed

As if those windy bodies with the sea's

Unfriended heart within them for a voice

Had turned to mock him, and he called them friends,

And he had found a wild peace hearing them

Cry senseless cries, halloing to the wind.

He turned his back upon the sea; he saw

The ragged teeth of the sharp Apennines

Shut on the sea; his shadow in the moon
