TIME, by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE

Last Line: Of sin that never could be cleansed by resting?

First Line: I saw a giant armed with many lashes

Subject(s): Sin
I SAW a giant armed with many lashes
Whipping a host of dwarfs through some star-city;
Anon they turned on him, but short the clashes,
He pressed them forward fiercely without pity.
Where go they? Who is he that drives them,
And like a fiend demands eternal questing?
Is it that he by constant faring shrives them
Of sin that never could be cleansed by resting?
