'Nill Mc'Nhinney Still Life Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices Now dumb. What have we become? What have we chosen to be? Now all misery is reduced To the syllables of our names. Oh nothing can ever be the same Now the immortals are here. At the time it seemed a reasonable Choice To harness all the force of life Without the threat of death, But soon we found that boredom And inertia are not negatives: But all the laws we know. And dead are will and words like survival. Arrival at immunity to all Age, all fears and all ends Oh why do I pretend - Our essence is distilled And all familiar taste is drained, And though purity is maintained It leaves us sterile.
