标题[创作] Now I gaze at his savage countenance
时间Tue Feb 9 14:50:45 2010
Now I gaze at his savage countenance:
Coarse surface, gross hair, a pair of dull eyes,
In a distorted mirror, where he lies
In the air of baseness and ignorance.
So I ask: "What sort of desperate chance
Thou deemst thou ownst to toss the fatal dice
Of love?" And in a blast he painfully cries---
The fierce fire of shame puts on a dire dance,
Trapping him in ceaseless torment, whose frame
Begins to dissolve, diffuse, dissipate;*
The dread pyre consumes all in ash and dirt,
But a heart remains, without ruth nor hate,
Fine and firm in the core; I shall not blame
His transgression, for I know: it doth hurt.
*from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Biographia Literaria
