"Resignedly beneath a dark sky
the melancholy waters lie.
so blend the turrets and shadow there,
while from a proud tower
an undead looks down!
There open fanes and gaping grave.
the death has reared himself a throne
in a strange city lying
alone
far down within the dim forest."
[Taken from "The city in the sea", E.A Poe]
"Mistaken demon of heaven
thy joys are
tears!
ask the blind worm the secret of the grave,
and why her spires love to curl around the bones of death;
and the will of the
dark immortals.
Expanded the sound of a trumpet
the heavens awoke, and vast clouds of blood rolled
round the dim rock of the
castle.
In his hills of stormed snow, in his mountains of hail and ice
voices of terror are heard like thunder of
autumn,
when the cloud ablaze over harvest."
[Taken from "Visions", and "The Book of Urizen", Chapter I and II, William
Blake]
Ave Satani !
