It showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck.

In tombs of gold & lapis lazuli
Bodies of holy men & women exude
Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
But under heavy loads of trampled clay
Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
—WB Yeats, Oil & Blood.
