And a slender one, enamored of birds of prey—there hovered
With eyes that entice hearts though unrevealing,
Over him hearts devoid of resolve.
Hearts without defenses against them appealing.

How wondrous, then, his gaze, wounding as it is:
Amazing it is that with just a mere glance
It seems broken to us, yet it is a bird of prey.
He seems fragile to us yet brazen and bold.
