            <text>"[POLONIA:] This, then, by mournful cypress trees surrounded,&#13;
Between the lips of rocks at either side,&#13;
Reveals a monstrous neck of length unbounded,&#13;
Whose tangled hair is scantily supplied&#13;
By the wild herbs that there the wind hath grounded,&#13;
A gloom whose depths no sun has ever tried,&#13;
A space, a void, the gladsome day's affright,&#13;
The fatal refuge of the frozen night.&#13;
&#13;
I wished to enter there, to make my dwelling&#13;
Within the cave; but here my accents fail,&#13;
My troubled voice, against my will rebelling.&#13;
Doth interrupt so terrible a tale.—&#13;
What novel horror, all the past excelling,&#13;
Must I relate to you, with cheeks all pale,&#13;
Without cold terror on my bosom seizing,&#13;
And even my voice, my breath, my pulses freezing?&#13;
&#13;
I scarcely had o'ercome my hesitation,&#13;
And gone within the cavern's vault profound,&#13;
When I heard wails of hopeless lamentation,&#13;
Despairing shrieks that shook the walls around,&#13;
Curses, and blasphemy, and desperation,&#13;
Dark crimes avowed that would even hell astound,&#13;
Which heaven, I think, in order not to hear,&#13;
Had hid within this prison dark and drear.&#13;
&#13;
Let him come here who doubts what I am telling,&#13;
Let him here bravely enter who denies,&#13;
Soon shall he hear the sounds of dreadful yelling,&#13;
Soon shall the horrors gleam before his eyes.&#13;
For me, my voice is hushed, my bosom swelling,&#13;
Pants now with terror, now with strange surprise.&#13;
Nor is it right that human tongue should dare&#13;
High heaven's mysterious secrets to lay bare." (Act II, Scene XIX)</text>
