Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither flyโ
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
Invisible Wo!
- Poe
O carne vale!
What is it that buries itself before it is dead?
