Left to herself, the serpent now began
To change; her elfin blood in madness ran,
Her mouth foam'd, and the grass,
therewith
besprent,
Wither'd at dew so sweet and virulent;
Her eyes in torture fix'd, and anguish drear,
Hot, glaz'd, and wide, with lid-lashes all sear,
Flash'd phosphor and sharp sparks, without one cooling tear.

infatuated
with Poe's
writings in 1846 or 1847--he gave these two dates, though several
stories of Poe had been translated into French as early as 1841 or 1842;
L'Orang-Outang was the first, which we know as The Murders in the Rue

We Have Created the Night
We have created the night I hold your hand I watch
I sustain you with all my powers
I engrave in rock the star of your powers
Deep furrows where your body's goodness fruits
I recall your hidden voice your public voice
I smile still at the proud woman
You treat like a beggar
The madness you respect the simplicity you bathe in
And in my head which gently blends with yours with the night
I wonder at the

A stranger resembling you resembling everything I love
One that is always new.

Bothe mannis body and his thought,
Only thurgh Youthe, his chamberere, 4935

And of nought elles taketh hede
But only folkes for to lede
Into

So is [she] froward from sadnesse.
