The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise—”

Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,
Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought.”

““Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
“Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
For the embrace of nothing....”
