Ancestral Voices

And mid this tumult Kubla heard from far

Ancestral voices prophesying war!

- Kubla Khan, Samuel Taylor Coleridge

............

This is a beautiful image, there is a story here

Ancestral Voices

Woman Wailing

But Oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted

Down the hill athwart a cedarn cover!

A savage place as holy and enchanted

As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted

By woman wailing for her demon lover!
