SIXTH SPIRIT
My dwelling is the shadow(s)/black/gloom of the night,
Why doth thy magic bless me with light?
SEVENTH SPIRIT
The star which rules thy destiny,
Was ruled, ere earth began, by me:
It was a world as fresh and fair
As e'er revolved round sun in air;
Its course was free and regular,
Space bosom'd not a lovelier star.
The hour arrived -- and it became
A wandering mass of _______ flame,
A straying/wayward comet, -- and a curse,
The menace of the universe;
Still rolling on with innate force,
Without a _______, without a course,
A bright _______ on high,
The monster of the upper sky!
And thou! beneath its influence born--
Thou _______! whom I _______ and scorn--
Forced by a power (which is not thine,
And lent thee but to make thee mine)
For this brief moment to descend,
Where these weak spirits round thee bend
And parley with a thing like thee--
What wouldst thou, Child of _______! with me?

By the way, I had to check and here are the results: I've done that mistake only one other time here, and another on LD apparently. |

The right word is a negative one. "Trackless" was closer (really very close). |

SIXTH SPIRIT
My dwelling is the shadow of the night,
Why doth thy magic pester me with light?
SEVENTH SPIRIT
The star which rules thy destiny,
Was ruled, ere earth began, by me:
It was a world as fresh and fair
As e'er revolved round sun in air;
Its course was free and regular,
Space bosom'd not a lovelier star.
The hour arrived -- and it became
A wandering mass of _______ flame,
A pathless/mapless comet, -- and a curse,
The menace of the universe;
Still rolling on with innate force,
Without a /path/way/map, without a course,
A bright monstrosity (unlikely due to the next line but I'm stumped) on high,
The monster of the upper sky!
And thou! beneath its influence born--
Thou _______! whom I respect and scorn--
Forced by a power (which is not thine,
And lent thee but to make thee mine)
For this brief moment to descend,
Where these weak spirits round thee bend
And parley with a thing like thee--
What wouldst thou, Child of Soil/Grit/Smut! with me?

A bright monstrosity (unlikely due to the next line but I'm stumped) It's fairly close in meaning and it's the right kind of noun. |
