A worm fed on the heart of Corinth, <br />Babylon and Rome: <br />Not Paris raped tall Helen, <br />But this incestuous worm, <br />Who lured her vivid beauty <br />To his amorphous sleep. <br />England! Famous as Helen <br />Is thy betrothal sung <br />To him the shadowless, <br />More amorous than Solomon.<br /><br />Isaac Rosenberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-worm-fed-on-the-heart-of-corinth/
