Arthur Symons - John And Salome
Work rating: Low

Black-haired and garbed in long black garments, John 
With hand revulsed and eyes that ache with hate, 
Equal in height with her, a dagger-thrust 
Between them divides from him her raging lust, 
Lust in her naked breasts that have two eyes. 
Lust in her flesh, the flesh he looks upon, 
Lust that makes her whole body undulate, 
Lust on her lips; the lust that never dies, 
Between the hollow of her breasts, a sign 
Sinister of that hell that lives within 
Her limbs that long for him; her mouth like wine. 
Wine, that she gives to spirits more malign 
Than hers. O the seven devils that make her sin 
The one great Sin that never is forgiven 
Between the heaven that`s hell, the hell that`s heaven! 
Virginless Virgin and a virile man, 
What is there common betwixt you in the world? 
His curses fell on her: there`s not a span 
Between his life and death; the gates of the Tomb 
Are flung wide open and a serpent`s curled 
Around the Virgin of the aching Womb!
