The feast during the plague (№ 348645)

There is rapture in the battle,
And the dark abyss at the edge,
And infuriated ocean
Amid the menacing waves and stormy darkness,
And in the Arabian hurricane,
And in the breath of Plague.
Everything, everything that threatens death,
For heart mortal conceals
Ineffable enjoyment
Immortality, maybe, pledge!
And happy is he who amid unrest
To find them and to know they could.
