I saw a staring virgin stand Where holy Dionysius died, And tear the heart out from his side And lay that heart upon her hand And bear that beating heart away. Then did all the muses sing Of *magnus annus* at the spring, As if God's death were but a play.
Another Troy must rise and set, Another lineage feed the crow; Another Argos' painted prow Drive to a flashier bauble yet. The Roman empire stood appalled; It dropped the reigns of peace and war, When that fierce virgin with her star Out of the fabulous darkness called. In pity for men's darkening thoughts He walked that room and issued thence In Galilean turbulence. The Babylonian starlight brought A fabulous, formless darkness in; Odour of blood when Christ was slain Made all Platonic tolerance vain, And vain all Doric discipline. Everything that man esteems Endures a moment or a day; Love's pleasure drives his love away; The painter's brush consumes his dreams; The herald's cry, the soldier's tread Exhaust his glory and his might; Whatever flames upon the night Man's own resinous heart has fed.
