Had formed in his own image. Fear and Hate And Hunger reigned. The lean and stunted serf, Nailed to his clod of unproductive earth.

Excerpt from Poems and Transcripts
A Dwarf.
In the strong daylight of reality,
I came upon a being who belonged
Not to the present, but the distant past;
A thing mis-issued from the womb of Time,
Which called the mind away from present sights,
And seemed to give the measure of an age.
I saw him at Verona in the street;
And with that empty street, in which the sun
Poured floods of light upon the heated stones.
He seemed as out of keeping as a bat.
He was a cripple and a dwarf, of face
Close-shaven, warped, and pleasureless, who stood
Upon his crutches, in the dreary garb
Of a medieval almshouse, eyeing us.
He might have been an imp-like ornament,
Detached from some cathedral buttress black,
And vivified by now forgotten spells;
The incarnate spirit of the Ages Dark,
Thrown on our path to make us love these days.
I let my thoughts revert to those black times,
When prowled the monk, the leper, and the witel
