Inspired by 
E. A. Poe 
Dear child, are you scared tonight? 
Your body is trembling 
Dear child, you are a tragic bride 
With a blemished mind 
Dear soul, 
I will take you 
To the very ends of the earth 
Dear soul 
I will break you 
The marble 
BREED is mine "Out - out are the lights - out all! And over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, ..." 
Dear worm, are you strong enough? 
I will defy you 
Dear worm, 
I will rise up high 
From the glowing embers "...And the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, "
Man", And its hero the conqueror Worm".
