Thus we came to rebehold the stars
And the other globes of the celestial skies,
Lady Luna with her blunted horns renewed-
The darkness haunting us left somewhere behind. Or maybe not quite , so the Heavens do taunt-
While the Sisters Fate laugh as the devils cry;
And the mechanics of the world turn counter clockwise,
They pushed on by the mortals who plot God's demise But you, my dear Ophelia, what do you see?

My arms sink in

into my grave.The house creaks,
and it is speaking again.
The doors are shut,
and they giggle when
our backs our turned.Go, bid the soldiers shoot.The house tells us
