Artemis - Diamanda Galas

And she is still the only one, or is this the only moment;

For you are surely queen, first and last?

For you are surely king, O first and last lover…

Love the one who loves you from the cradle to the grave;

The one alone I love loves me dearly still:

She is death — or the dead one… Delight or torment!

And the rose she holds is the hollyhock

Saint of Naples with your hands full of fire

Mauve-hearted rose, flower of Saint Gudule:

Have you discovered your cross in the desert of the skies?

White roses, fall!

you offend our gods
