Violin bleeds red notes
Down and down
Staining the cloths of sleep
 
Subtle arpeggios climb and climb
Wending their way
To unconscious heights
 
All the while the spell of slumber
Cocoons, paralyses
The sin of the world
Weights her belly

Unholy form
Pretentiously poises
In gargoylian hunch
Keeping the worst secrets
Even from itself

Tainted by his touch
She feints
White skin now slack
He deals in shadows�?/FONT>
 
 
 Belle wanted to know what music you think ought to accompany this...

The Beethoven Funerailles is sad, It is something like one who was beloved, and died, and is mourned by those who loved her, who number many.
 
The expression of the imp's face in Fuseli's Nightmare is evil and treacherous. He's a little reminiscent of Cheney. Furthermore, he's not done with the girl. He has no pity or sympathy for the girl. His lust and evil overpower all else for the moment.
Quite Mephistophelean.
 
Beethoven wrote nothing that was evil and treacherous. I don't believe he knew how.
