Bugs_Bunnnny: And after all the labour and the pains,
After the heaping up of gold on gold,
After success that locked your feet in chains,
And left you with a heart so tired and old,
Strange - is it not? to find your chief desire,
Is what you might have had for nothing then. -Alfred Noyes-

Where Tim the ostler listened. His face was white and peaked.
His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay,.. ” Alfred Noyes, 1906

Burning blood-red shall on thy heart be born.
Stand like a beaten anvil. Let earth's wrong
Beat on that iron + ring back in song.
