Messenger with Bow String in Summer Hall
The verse describes a banquet scene invaded by a grim messenger from Calipa, a loosened bow string signaling death amid festivity. Roses and fountains glow as death silently arrives, the bow string drawn, leaving a ghostly figure to beckon the doom. The tone blends lush imagery with sudden mortality.
