Water Torture Cell

    “He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
    Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
    And that unrest which men miscall delight,
    Can touch him not and torture not again;
    From the contagion of the world’s slow stain
    He is secure, and now can never mourn
    A heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “I turn and turn in my cell like a fly that doesn’t know where to die.”
