Brilliant, the amaranthine chain,
shadow, the tartine pit.
Scorched the exposed flesh,
cracked the ribald voice.
Clandestine the theft,
bright the use.
Ascended is man,
absurd the abuse.
The law is a solid arm,
the arm is a supple lever,
the brain is a calculable thing,
the mind a feeble being.
Prometheus the teacher.
Prometheus the bound.
Prometheus the critic.
Prometheus the cursed.
