The Worms At Heaven's Gate




The worms are chanting in unison as they are approaching Heaven's gate:

"Out of the tomb, we bring Badroulbadour ,
Within our bellies, we her chariot."

Badroulbadour was a princess that was married to Aladdin in a fairytale from 1001 Nights . The worms continue describing the transient nature of beauty:
:"Here is an eye. And here are, one by one,
:The lashes of that eye and its white lid.
:Here is the cheek on which that lid decline,
:And, finger after finger, here, the hand,
:The genius of that cheek."
