Ennui + 

I sat in tall Gomorrah on a day, + 

Boring myself with solitude and dreams, + 

When, like strange priests, with sacerdotal tread, + 

The seven mortal sins, in rich array, + 

Came in and knelt: one old, and weak, and gray, + 

One that was shrouded like a person dead, + 

And one whose robes cast reddish-purple gleams + 

Upon her scornful face at peace alway. + 

They swung before me amschirs of strange gold, + 

And one most beautiful began to pray, + 

Dreamily garmented in pallid blue. + 

But I said only⁠—I have dream’d of you. + 

Naught really is; all things are very old, + 

And very foolish. + 

Please to go away. + 
