A MIDNIGHT LANDSCAPE - ZaunköniG - 24.06.2007 A great black cloud from heaven's midmost height Hangs all to eastward roofing half the world, Whereunder in vast shadow stretches furled A waste, meseems, where never leaf nor light Might be, but only darkness infinite, Where the lost heroes of old dreams oppressed Might still be wandering on some dolorous quest, A land of witchcraft and accursed blight. Lapping the border of that huge distress, A pallid stream from valleys gnarled and dim Comes creeping with a Stygian silentness; While yonder southward at the cloud's last rim Antares from the Scorpion burns afar, With surge and baleful gleam, the fierce red star! |
