VII. Metrical Experiments

Metrical Experiments

2

Outspread a Wave burst, a Force leaped from the Unknown1,

Vague, wide, some veiled Maker, masked Lighter of the Fire:

With dire blows the Smith of the World

Forged strength from hearts of the weak;

Earth’s hate the edge of the axe,

Smitten by the gods,

Hewn, felled, the Form crashed that touched heaven and its stars.
