Satan and Lilith[1]

By George Sterling

(Reprint)

  Satan, yawning on his brazen seat.
Fondles a screaming thing his fiends have flayed.
Ere Lilith come his indolence to greet.
Who leads from hell his whitest queens, arrayed
In chains so heated at their master's Are
That one new-damned had thought their bright attire
Indeed were coral, till the dazzling dance
So terribly that brilliance shall enhance.
