Cult of Medusa
Art by Bruce Pennington
Her lethal beauty crowned with twining snakes
That mingle with her hair, the Gorgon reigns.
. . .
Thus the land shall be,
And Death shall wait, throned in Medusa's eyes,
Till in the irremeable webs of night
The sun is snared, and the corroded moon
A dust upon the gulfs, and all the stars
Rotted and fallen like rivets from the sky,
Letting the darkness down upon all things.
