Lucifer! dripping with celestial splendour,

All aglow with cosmic rebellion,

Thundering forth pious blasphemies,

Chanting sacrilegious hymns,

Thy voice is like unto the trumpet sounds

Of the Archangels of the Apocalypse

Calling the dead to life.

Meteor fallen from the bosom of infinitude

Into the common clay,

Strange visitant from another orb,

Permeated with the music of the spheres,

Replete and radiant with rarest gems,

Perplexing, exciting, soothing, betwitching.

Lucifer! Prometheus! Dionysos! Shelley!
