Magnetic Horror

 "Beneath this sky, so livid and strange,

Tormented¹ like thy destiny,

What thoughts within thy spirit range

Themselves?—O libertine² reply."

 

—With vain desires, for ever torn

Towards the uncertain, and the vast,

And yet, like Ovid—I'll not mourn—

Who from his Roman Heaven was cast.

 

O heavens, turbulent as the streams,

In you I mirror forth³ my pride!

Your clouds, which clad in mourning, glide⁴,

 

Are the hearses of my dreams,

And in your illusion lies the hell,

Wherein my heart delights to dwell.
