QUATRAINS (FOR FOUR DRAWINGS BY JORGE PALOMINO): 2. DESPAIR, by                    
First Line: Now cracks the dead heart's ashen core in twain
Last Line: Plunged to abysmal night.

Now cracks the dead heart's ashen core in twain,
Cloven by deathless pain,
When leaps the self-destroying soul from Light
Plunged to abysmal Night.
