Arthur Symons - The Chimera: Notre-Dame
Work rating: Low

The Chimera created by the Eternal Hours, 
Seized by the perverse passion of Rabelais, 
Disguised in Satan of the Eternal Towers 
Of Notre-Dame that rule the night and day, 
Himself destructive, his own self devours 
His living flesh, this Bird of Evil Prey, 
Lean as a lenten Monk, nor rains nor showers 
Ever refresh: his one Desire to slay 
The misbegotten child that the first Sin 
Conceived from the body of primeval Lust; 
Only his eyes, that see but from within, 
Gloat over Paris. Shrivelled to the skin, 
Hooded and clawed, his feet grind down the dust,
