Canto 5The Lost Deliverer
Book 1. Part One - England and Baroda 1883 – 1898
Pythian he came; repressed beneath his heel
The hydra of the world with bruis`ed head.
Vainly, since Fate’s immeasurable wheel
Could parley with a straw. A weakling sped
5The bullet when to custom’s usual night
We fell because a woman’s faith was light.
