Torn, hacked and slashed Painted from within as brushes to detune Hordes of the firmament cumming nails as heavy rain Bright sun extinguish’d as the stars did wander darkling Rayless, pathless and disfigured Thus swung blind and blackening in the moonless air Morn came, with no day to forget it’s passions in the dread Of heavenly desolation dwelling beneath the throne of atrocity Consumed, detached within the eye Set on fire with malice clad, so hacked fell and faded Torn, hacked and deeply sliced The feeble ashes and breath both remnants of the rayless ra Atrocity with open wings And all was black upon the hacked throat of daylight Unearthly darkned flashes ruin the despairing sun And both gods and angels hid their eyes and therefore wept ” funeral piles with fuels with mad disquietude on the dull sky Malice gnash'd it's teeth and howled as daylight terrified did shriek Flutter'd on the ground and flapped it's useless wings… “ Once atrocitie has hacked upon daylight’s throat Tame and tremulous, hissing stingless Crawled and twined to be slain by blackned atrocity And war did glut the sun to gorge in gloom Atrocity famine fed upon daylight’s entrails And it’s meagre rays were gloriously devoured Raped, torn and grimly hacked Void and seasonless, and that was death A chaos of hard clay once atrocity whets the scythe " …the waves were dead; the tides were in their grave, The moon their mistress had expired before; The winds were withered in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd; darkness had no need Of aid from them - she was the universe "
