MARIA LUISA ROLANDO
(L'Amante del Vampiro
(d. Renato Polselli, Italy, 1960)
"'Tis midnight's dark hour, I am come from the dead!
Delay'st thou, my bridegroom to clasp me again?"
Thus saying, she dragged him perforce to her breast,
Imprinting a cold clammy kiss on his face!
Her lips, all so pale, to his forehead she pressed,
And clasped him full close in her noisome embrace.
'Monk' Lewis
Albert of Werdendorff
