And at the last from inner Egypt came
The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed.
That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands.
Soon from the sea a noxious birth began
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold.
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play
The idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away.
