Those silver gates of Yith to sea-beds dry.

IV

On rounded turrets rising through the visne

Of cloud-veiled aeons that the Old Ones knew:

On tablets deeply worn and fingered clean

By tentacles that dreamers seldom view;

In space-hung Yith, on clammy walls obscene

That writhe and crumble and are built anew;

There is a figure carved; but God! those eyes,

That sway on fungoid stems at leaden skies!
