"There were vast ungodly tombs where slimy monsters dreamed, |
|
There were clouds like blood-drenched plumes where unborn demons screamed. |
|
There were ages dead to Time, and lands lost out of Space; |
|
There were adders in the slime, and a dim unholy Face. |
|
"Oh, the heart in my breast turned stone, and the brain froze in my skull- |
|
But I won through, I alone, and I poured my chalice full |
|
Of horrors and dooms and spells, black buds and bitter roots- |
|
From the hells beneath the hells, I bring you my deathly fruits." |
