“The second Death, that never dies,
That cannot die, when time is dead”
The Dark Angel (1895)
Context: p>I fight thee, in the Holy Name!

Tempter! should I escape thy flame,
Thou wilt have helped my soul from Death:The second Death, that never dies,
That cannot die, when time is dead:
Live Death, wherein the lost soul cries,
Eternally uncomforted.</p
