Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.

There is no shape more terrible than this —
More tongued with censure of the world's blind greed —
More filled with signs and portents for the soul —
More fraught with menace to the universe.

My face to the far, mysterious goals,
To the last assize, to the final sifting
Of gods and stars and souls.
