    When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
    And a man with his back to the East.

Pretty! in amber to observe the forms
Of hairs, of straws, or dirt, or grubs, or worms!

It will have blood, they say: blood will have blood.
Stones have been known to move and trees to speak;
Augures and understood relations have
By maggot-pies and choughs and rooks brought forth
The secret'st man of blood. What is the night?
