Excerpt from Hobson's Choice Hell throned on high where Heaven should Symbol of Cuba a blazing sky Floods with flame a glowing sea Whose foamless, long, slow swells roll high, Rippling in purple revelry And to the mad Sun's molten beams Flash back a myriad golden gleams In a dazzle-dance of devilry. Hell throned on high and on the deep And where the Spanish warships hide In Santiago's bay, asleep, Rocked softly on the slumbrous tide. Beneath an awning richly hued, With fringes like flamingo wings, Proud lord of splendid solitude, The Admiral in his hammock swings; Blows dreamy smoke in violet rings Nor lets the gloom of real things His country's doom and shame - intrude Upon his old, hidalgo mood.
