The Basement
The basement is a dark cave;
the shadows cast are not of flowers,
but of obscure objects from beyond
Out of the shroud comes a Dragon named Love;
out of the shroud comes he, and gobbles up the weak-hearted.
Out of the bowels of the deep come Vipers called Joy;
out of the bowels they come, and smite all with cheerful hearts.
Out of the abyss comes the voice of death;
out of the abyss it comes and gives all of those afraid the courage to go on.
