Lamia

• "Upon a time"
• "All pain but pity"
• "Ah miserable me!"
• "a palpilating snake"
• "cirque - couchant"
• "she wore a wannish hue"
• "Thou beauteous wreath with melancholy eyes"
• "By the love-glances of unlovely eyes"
• "I was a woman"
• "her eyelids opened bland"


  the nymph after being so scared, she is not void of emotion
• "Her eyes in torture fixed [...] flashed phosphor"
• "eclipsed her crescents, and licked up her stars"
• "By a clear pool [...] her robes flaunted with the daffodils"


  narcisious daffodil - he liked his reflection so much he fell in the pool and drowned
• "his eyes had drunk her beauty up"
• "Even as thou vanishest so I shall die"
• "made, by a spell, the triple league decreases to a few paces"
• "but onight he seems the ghost of folly haunting my sweet dreams"
• "but too short was their bliss"
• "purple lined palace of sweet sin"
• "his passion cruel grown"
• "do not bid old appolonious"
• ""how to dress the misery in fit magnificence"
• "missioned her viewless servants"
• "when dreadful guests would come to spoil her solitude
• "Lycius blushed and led the old man through the inner doors"
• "do not all charms fly at the mere touch of cold philosophy?"
• "philosophy will clip an angels wings"
• "begone foul dream!"
• "Lamia no longer fair there sat a deadly white"
• "Lamia breathed a death-breath"
• "Then with a frightful scream she vanished"
• "no pulse or breath they found"
• "the heavy body bound"
