Poems of Revolt, and Satan Unbound Quotes
Showing 1-1 of 1
“As a booty or a spoil, captured, caught, with snare and toil.
Selling pleasure, selling joy, Tantalizing, tortured toy; Tricked and trafficked, mocked and marred, Branded, baffled, scoffed and scarred!
Wander, wander whither, why? Ye who pay while all pass by, Casting stones each at his sin As he spurns in you his kin.
Fools of fortune, pity ye Your bejewelled poverty !
Hounded like a hare at bay, That no coup de grace will slay, Like a bird of broken wing, Wild, defiant, fluttering.
Hither, thither, drearily, On and onward, wearily; Laughing, cursing to defy Stifled sob and surging sigh.”
