lirik lagu louise bogan - the sleeping fury
you are here now
who were so loud and feared, in a symbol before me
alone and asleep, and i at last look long upon you
your hair fallen on your cheek, no longer in the semblance of serpents
lifted in the gale; your mouth, that shrieked so, silent
you, my scourge, my sister, lie asleep, like a child
who, after rage, for an hour quiet, sleeps out its tears
the days close to winter
rough with strong sound. we hear the sea and the forest
and the flamеs of your torches fly, lit by others
ripped by thе wind, in the night. the black sheep for sacrifice
huddle together. the milk is cold in the jars
all to no purpose, as before, the knife whetted and plunged
the shout raised, to match the clamor you have given them
you alone turn away, not appeased; unaltered, avenger
hands full of scourges, wreathed with your flames and adders
you alone turned away, but did not move from my side
under the broken light, when the soft nights took the torches
at thin morning you showed, thick and wrong in that calm
the ign0ble dream and the mask, sly, with slits at the eyes
pretense and half~sorrow, beneath which a coward’s hope trembled
you uncovered at night, in the locked stillness of houses
false love due the child’s heart, the kissed~out lie, the embraces
made by the two who for peace tenderly turned to each other
you who know what we love, but drive us to know it;
you with your whips and shrieks, bearer of truth and of solitude;
you who give, unlike men, to expiation your mercy
dropping the scourge when at last the scourged advances to meet it
you, when the hunted turns, no longer remain the hunter
but stand silent and wait, at last returning his gaze
beautiful now as a child whose hair, wet with rage and tears
clings to its face. and now i may look upon you
having once met your eyes. you lie in sleep and forget me
alone and strong in my peace, i look upon you in yours
