19. Magnificent disaster

```

All my youthful hopes of blazing noon

Are smashed by calamity’s giant strokes.

No ray of life to sustain my inner faith.

Grim necessity dare not command me

To sustain my outer belief.

I loved the throes of the human world.

Indeed, a fatal love!

My reward is a magnificent disaster

Of a universal tornado-character.
