Figure D16 TIRYNS

In a distant future, now we see

Our Milky Way is monstrously deployed

To smash into a neighbour galaxy.

(Though scarcely any star shall be destroyed,

So great the space between, yet much annoyed

By tidal currents, hurtled out at speed

To drift away into the cosmic void.)

Yet what Perseus, on what wingéd steed

Shall save ANDROMEDA in this her hour of need?
