The soldiers that have fallen, red in blood,
The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.”

And a manner that was innocent of sin,
His galluses greasy, his eyes coldly gray,
Appeared, and with a gravely learned air
Spoke from the deep coherence of hell....”

“A black sun has appeared in the sky of my motherland.”
