. there is a stone tower . in a secret place, its walls are . thick and pierced only by . slits of blackness . Around the tower . on the ground . lie the endless faces . of the damned all . screaming, calling out, all . motionless and silent. Above
 . the tower , wheeling in a sky · . (black star . lace . . . hangs a . great bird , whose . yellow jewel eye occasionally
scans below, pausing here and there on a face it has known : here,
there are no names and I do not remember_
