What creature is this that cometh near His luggage filled to the brim with fear Crushing our lives, crushing our beliefs O whence for me shall bring only griefs What of the men whom now weep? What of the woman buried alive in their sleep? What of the children who once stood brave? Their minds controlled their souls enslaved The baneful trumpets sound...

Letters To Dead Poets; Chapter 1: To William Blake
