Her sleeping head with its great gelid mass
of serpents torpidly astir
burned into the mirroring shield--
a scathing image dire
as hated truth the mind accepts at last
and festers on.
I struck. The shield flashed bare.
Yet even as I lifted up the head
and started from that place
of gazing silences and terrored stone,
I thirsted to destroy.
None could have passed me then--
no garland-bearing girl, no priest
or staring boy--and lived.

Come not with kisses
Not with caresses
Of hands and lips and murmurings;

“I was cut off from hope in that sad place,
Which yet to name my spirit loathes and fears;
My father held his hand upon his face;
Still strove to speak; my voice was thick with sighs,
As in a dream. Dimly I could decry
The stern black-bearded kings, with wolfish eyes,
Waiting to see me die.
The tall masts quivered as they lay afloat,
The temples and the people and the shore;
One drew a sharp knife through my tender throat
Slowly, and—nothing more.”
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON (1809—1892)
