Manifold marvels and terrors of the earth

Tropical swamp under rapturous sky

Luxuriant and monstrous

Wondrously formless trees

Green-shadowed pools

Eyes of the lurking beast

Hearts pounding with horror and mysterious desire

Enslaved sensitivity’s revenge

Sudden strange expansions of your inner space

Devastating invasion of passion

Destruction of a mastered life

Degraded by an unfamiliar god and thrust into the absurd

Skepticism in the face of artistic power

Confession of the hero who is already marked by death
