I met a member from an antique age
Who said: Two vast and gothic asterisks
Are in the topic. Near them, on the page,
Half sunk, a shattered smiley lies, whose frown
And wrinkled brow, and sigh of cold quitclaim
Tell that its author well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these ascii things,
The hand that typed them and the limp forehead.
And in the signature these words are <i>:
"My name is Terror's Martyr, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Oldbie, and DIE!!!!!!!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal flame, adroit and dry
The overpunned replies go far astray.
