Mervyn peake Poems

Gormenghast

Somewhere beneath the bat-shawled moon
Sleep mocks me from her hiding-place
Is it love or horror that I feel?
I do not know; I cannot read the rune.

What waking dream has brought me here?
To crumbling castle, tumbled towers
An alphabet of arch and aisle
A baleful beauty and a code unclear.
