I
O Medusa, how hath the envious slandered thee!
Thou ne'er had'st need of coily snakes,
nor hideous aspect.
I know, for I have beheld thee,
thy calm perfection,
and I stand rooted, frozen,
awed.
II
My song,
is it not enough that you rob me of my sleep,
demanding substance, form?
must I also creep about this foreign house
at three o'clock in the morning
(trying not to disturb anyone),
looking for pencil and paper
to write you down?
