The visions: now a might...Swifter and stranger grow<br />The visions: now a mighty city looms,<br />Hewn from a hill of purest cinnabar<br />To domes and turrets like a sunrise thronged<br />With tier on tier of captive moons, half-drowned<br />In shifting erubescence. But whose hands<br />Were sculptors of its doors, and columns wrought<br />To semblance of prodigious blooms of old,<br />No eremite hath lingered there to say,<br />And no man comes to learn: for long ago<br />A prophet came, warning its timid king<br />Against the plague of lichens that had crept<br />Across subverted empires, and the sand<br />Of wastes that cyclopean mountains ward;<br />Which, slow and ineluctable, would come<br />To take his fiery bastions and his fanes,<br />And quench his domes with greenish tetter.
