GRAZIELLA GRANATA
La Strage dei Vampiri
(d. Roberto Mauri, 1962)
And o'er the chamber of the tomb
There spread a lurid gleam,
Like the reflection of a sulphur fire;
And in that hideous light
Oneiza stood before them. It was she,..
Her very lineaments,..and such as death
Had changed them, livid cheeks, and lips of blue;
But in her eyes there dwelt
Brightness more terrible
Than all the loathsomeness of death.
Robert Southey,
Thalaba the Destroyer
