Constantly flit by Affrighting shapes — and airy phantoms dire, Hurriedly. As in dense flocks the birds Of passage, winter come, flee south afar, On nimble wing borne onward. Hastily, So flit along the shore of the fire-sea. The souls of unblest men. Lo! here Revenge, And Jealousy, and Fear, Celaeno-like, Fly to and fro — but find no resting-place. In darkness too, lamenting Sorrow sat, Veiling her blood-shot eyes, and weeping loud, With an eternal anguish. Horror, too. With aspect frightful to... behold, with eye Glassy as death, her doomful sceptre sways — Eternal vigil keeping o'er the lost. Which ever and anon, unearthly gaze Aloft with mad disquietude, at wo To come — and come again for evermore. Densely the sombrous sky above is spread. Like funeral pall o'er some vast ruin'd world. And lol below, Cerberian ban-dogs howl, Kennell'd in fire — the guards of Erebus — Besides enormous creatures everywhere, Like forests' grim inhabitants. But more. Yea, sevenfold more, excel in magnitude And horror, monsters roam at large, whose eyes Like fire-balls, glare terrifically wild — And mammoth-like their ponderous crescent tusks^, They high uprear above the mist-clad hills.
