Arthur Symons - PerditionArthur Symons - Perdition
Work rating: Low


Why have I never loved? Is it that I am abnormal, Condemned for my sins, not as some in absurd concavity Think that the world`s a concave? Perhaps I deform all My senses alight into a form of depravity. Always the prey of ignoble instincts, always vibrating At the touch of flesh on my flesh, ah! nervous vibration That gives me such learned desires of insanely creating Death into life, an abominable kind of creation Outside the limits of nature where nature`s most sterile, As on the beds of hired women I wake to remind me Annihilation awaits me, or some more infamous peril Shot from a mad girl`s eyes, as if some one behind me Stood in the midnight to stab me, and I was forsaken Even of myself, lost in caresses, lost in sedition, Saved in no sense, but hurled half way down to Perdition!
