Nothing as miserable has happened before.
The Long Island night has refused its moon.
La belle dame sans merci’s next door.
The Prince of Darkness is on the phone.Certain famous phrases of our time
Have taken on the glitter of poems,
Like “Catch me before I kill again,”
And “Why are you sitting in the dark alone?”
