beautiful figures. approach
and,
the heavens were clouded, soon
coming slowly in large drops, violence quickly in-
creased.
the darkness and
increased and
lightning dazzled my eyes

The storm,
appeared at once in various parts of the heavens.

While I watched so beautiful yet terrific,

in the gloom a figure which stole from
me;
and discovered

humanity
it was the filthy dæmon, to whom I had given
life.
