Stub towers in the distance,
riders cross the blasted moor
against the horizon.
Fickle promises of treaty,
fatal harbingers of war, futile orisons
swirl as one in this flight, this mad chase,
this surge across the marshy mud landscape
until the meaning is forgotten.
Hood masks the eager face, skin stretched and sallow,
headlong into the chilling night, as swift as any arrow.

Feet against the flagstones,[ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪]
fingers scrabbling at the lock,
craving protection.[ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪]
'Sanctuary!' croaks a voice,
half-strangled by the s[ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪]hock of its rejection.
Shot the bolt in the wall, rusted the key;
now the echoes of all frightful memory
intrude in[ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪] the silence.
What a crawl against the slope - dark loom the gallows.
One touch to the chapel door, how swiftly comes the arrow.

"Compassion" you plead,
as though they kept it in a box -
that's [ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪]long since been empty.
I'd like to help you somehow,
but I'm in the self-same spot:
my condition exempts me.
We are all on the run, on our knees;
the sundial draws a line upon eternity
across every nu[ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪]ber.
How long the time seems, how dark the shadow,
how straight the eagle flies, how straight towards his arrow.
How long the night is - why is this passage so narrow?
How strange[ http://www.meter17.cn/fsy.htm 风速仪] my body feels, impaled upon the arrow.
