Victor |
It was a frosty December, it wsn’t the season for fruits; |
His father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots. |
It was a frosty December when into his grave he sank; |
His uncle found Victor a post as a cashier in the Midlands Counties |
bank. |
It was a frosty December Victor was only eighteen. |
But his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs were |
always clean. |
He took a room at the Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And Time |
watched Victor day after day as a cat willwatch a mouse. |
Victor went up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell; |
Climbed into his bed, took his bible and read of happend to Jezebel. |
It was the First of April, Anna to the Peveril came; |
Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips and her smile set men |
aflame. |
It was the Second of April, she was wearing a coat of fur; |
Victor met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her. |
The first time he made his proposal, she laughed, said:'I'll never |
wed': |
The second time there was a pause, then she shook her head. |
Anna |
looked at the mirror, pouted and gave a frown; |
Said;'Victor's as dull |
as a wet afternoon but I’ve got to settle down.' |
The third time hemade his proposal, as they walked by the Reservoir, |
She gave him a kiss like a blowon the head, said,'You are my heart’s |
desire.' |
They married early in August, she said;'Kiss me, you funny |
boy': |
Victor took her in his arms and said:'O my Helen of Troy.' |
The clerks were talking of Anna, the door was just ajar: |
One said:'Poor old Victor, but where ignorance is bliss, etcetera.' |
Victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all alone; |
Cried:'Are |
you in Heaven, Father ?', but the sky said’Address not known.' |
Victor looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered with |
snow; |
Cried:'Are you pleased with me, Father ?'and the answer came |
back, No. |
Victor came to the forest, cried:'Father, will she ever be true ?' |
And the oaks and the beeches shook their heads and they |
answered:'Not to you.' |
Victor came to the meadow where the wind went |
sweeping by: Cried:'O Father, I love her so,'but the wind said:'She |
must die.' |
Victor came to the river running so deep and so still; |
Crying:'O Father, what shall I do ?'and the river answered:'Kill.' |
Anna was sitting at table, drawing cards from a pack; |
Anna was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back. |
Victor stood in the doorway, he didn’t utter a word; |
She said:'What's the matter, darling ?'he behaved as if he hadn’t |
heard. |
There was a voice in his left ear, there was a voice in the |
right, |
There was a voice at the base of his skull saying:'She must die |
tonight.' |
Victor picked up a carving knife, his features were set and |
drawn, Said;'Anna, it would have been better for you if you had not |
been born.' |
Anna jumped up from the table, Anna started to scream, |
But Victor cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream. |
She dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain rod, |
But Victor came slowly after her, said’Prepare to meet Thy God.' |
He stood there above the body, he stood there holding the knife; |
And the blood ran down the stairs and sang; |
'I am the Resurrection |
and the Life.' |
They tapped Victor on the shoulder, they took him away |
in a van; |
He sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; |
'I am the Son of Man.' |
Victor sat in a corner |
Making a woman of clay. |
Saying:'I am Alpha and Omega, I shall come |
To judge the earth one day.' |
