 1     I|        Latian verse~ To tell the dark discoveries of the Greeks,~
 2     I|      That Heraclitus, famous for dark speech~ Among the silly,
 3     I|        mind is not deceived~ How dark it is: But the large hope
 4     I|      since, concerning themes so dark, I frame~ Songs so pellucid,
 5    II|          life but labours in the dark.~ For just as children tremble
 6    II|        fear all~ In the viewless dark, so even we at times~ Dread
 7    II|         will be upon them in the dark.~ This terror then, this
 8    II|        let in, pour down~ Across dark halls of houses: thou wilt
 9    II|        ourselves whatever in the dark~ We touch, the same we do
10    II|        there be~ In the viewless dark? Nay, in the light itself~
11   III|       who first uplifted in such dark~ So clear a torch aloft,
12   III|        fear all~ In the viewless dark, so even we at times~ Dread
13   III|         will be upon them in the dark.~ This terror, then, this
14    IV|      since, concerning themes so dark, I frame~ Song so pellucid,
15    IV|      ever the more the theatre's dark walls~ Around them shut,
16    IV|         by our hands~ Within the dark is known to be the same~
17    IV|       stimulus on us~ Within the dark, within the light what square~
18    IV| sallowness. Again, we view~ From dark recesses things that stand
19    IV|        light with objects in the dark,~ Because that denser darkling
20     V|        head under sun,~ Opposing dark orb to his glowing beams -~
21     V|  childhood wont~ Ever to see the dark and day begot~ In times
22     V|        bold~ Of ship-sailing lay dark in those far times.~ Again, '
23    VI|        fear all~ In the viewless dark, so even we at times~ Dread
24    VI|         will be upon them in the dark.~ This terror then, this
25    VI|          lands with such a massy dark,~ Unless up-builded heap
26    VI|        tremendous pools of water dark,~ That the reeling land
27    VI|   under-gods draw down~ Souls to dark shores of Acheron - as stags,~
