| [00:14.174] | High howled the wind, the Ocean hurled |
| [00:16.819] | His mass of crested jet uncurled |
| [00:19.529] | Against the sea-wall and the tower |
| [00:21.837] | Where Dahud and her paramour |
| [00:23.706] | In shuttered silence , silky white |
| [00:25.695] | Lay side by side the live-long night |
| [00:29.029] | Confusedly in Dahud's arm |
| [00:31.186] | He felt presentiment of harm |
| [00:33.316] | Raising his ears from her white skin |
| [00:35.532] | And heart's noise , to the people's din |
| [00:38.095] | And beyond them , the growling roar |
| [00:40.517] | Of angry Ocean at the door. |
| [00:46.610] | "Go to the window," then said she, |
| [00:52.195] | "Tell me the movement of the sea. |
| [00:57.733] | His colour and his strategy." |
| [01:03.905] | "Lady, his waves are green as glass, |
| [01:08.607] | The sky is jet , the small skiffs pass. |
| [01:12.234] | From gulf to gulf like flying things |
| [01:16.490] | Soaked through, sucked down, with sodden wings." |
| [01:27.003] | "Then come to me and my embrace -- |
| [01:32.931] | I will press kisses on thy face |
| [01:38.311] | Whose heat and sharpness shall occlude |
| [01:44.038] | The murmuring of the multitude, |
| [01:49.933] | The rumble of the waters rude. |
| [01:55.824] | The murmuring of the multitude." |
| [02:42.117] | "Go to the window, tell to me |
| [02:47.483] | The height and movement of the sea |
| [02:53.528] | His colour and his strategy." |
| [02:59.629] | "Lady, his wave are black and boil, |
| [03:04.166] | Like stinking pitch, like raging oil, |
| [03:08.084] | He mounts and mounts, his million jaws |
| [03:12.342] | Snatch at the tower with open maws." |
| [04:00.488] | "No one, no myriad, open, high, |
| [04:04.620] | Lady I cannot see the sky. |
| [04:08.261] | The stars are out, the waters race, |
| [04:11.930] | The very tower sways and strains." |
| [04:15.955] | He laughs with rage, flings his fist down, |
| [04:19.914] | "Now rise up, lady, or we drown." |
| [04:28.984] | Christabel LaMotte, The City of Is |
| [04:29.550] | Possession, A S Byatt |
