"The Witch
When I was a girl by Nilus stream
I watched the deserts stars arise;
My lover, he who dreamed the Sphinx,
Learned all his dreaming from my eyes.
I bore in Greece a burning name,
And I have been in Italy
Madonna to a painter-lad,
And mistress to a Medici.
And have you heard (and I have heard)
Of puzzled men with decorous mien,
Who judged– the wench knew far too much –
And burnt her on the Salem green?"
--Adelaide Crapsey
"...if those above to bend
I am unable, hell below I'll move."
