"Time drags like a sluggish wave, it is a sphere of molten glass on whose surface myriad glints catch one's eye and engage one's attention, while inside glows the crimson, disquieting core." --Saramago

    "Typhoon Sunrise"

In storms of rage against a newer world
myself knew not the tumult nor the prize,
but found a delight my budding dreams empearled
in storms of rage, against a newer world.

What of this land whose levins are all hurled?
Already i abscond, i coventrize
myself, knew not the tumult nor the prize
in storms of rage against a newer world.


"Cold gliding horrors thrill'd each hero's breast" --Mickle's Lusiad
