[edit] Description
An old man with a long white beard and Persion headdress reads by the light of a large candle.
- XXXIII
- Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn
- In flowing Purple, of their Lord forlorn;
- Nor rolling Heaven, with all his Signs reveal’d
- And hidden by the sleeve of Night and Morn.
