Beauty and the Beast

And all for the Love of the Beauty and the Beast

In the Terror of their Marriage Feast,
United in four-armed Shiva's Dance
Upon the Dwarf of Ignorance.

The Sleeping Sphinx awakes
(Not knowing what form the knowledge takes)
And enters that Last and Lonely Room,
At last to know the Shape of Doom.
