Excerpt from Athelney: And Other PoemsBurned with an angry glare, beneath a pile Of granite clouds, dark as great boulders strewn Upon some rugged coast, washed by stern seas, And kindling them, Shot high above their ridge Great tongues Of ¿ame, as if the sulphurous bowels Of some fierce Etna heaved their vomit up, Splattering the heavens with fire. And Avon, looped About the old VIII of the Saxon kings, Incarnadined beneath that lurid sky, And ran blood-red dark as the streams which ¿owed From the great wine-press of the wrath of God, Seen by the Seer of Patmos, the red blood Of the great grapes of the earth's vine, full-ripe, Trodden in the press, which ¿owed far out and deep, Reaching e'en to the bridles of the horse Of vision.2.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
