Arthur Symons - Enter Herodias
Work rating: Low

A vampire, not a Woman, a Thing obscene. 
Eyes hideous as the eyes of a hired Whore, 
She, Herod`s Wife, enters upon the scene. 
Beside her stands a tall and sexless thing, 
With the fig-leaf that has of fig-leaves four, 
Always her sexless sex remembering, 
A mask she wears; naked enough, for once, 
She has her Exit through the open door. 
There`s a wise owl; a wise man that`s a dunce 
Reads in a book Salome. Let that pass. 
As for this creature that`s Herodias, 
Nero`s Agrippina she might have been. 
"Make the way for the Tetrarch Antipas!" 
Cries Herod, before he enters on the scene.
