The suffering of Arthur was at this time unspeak- able. Chewed as he was into mere pulp that passed over the tongue of Dis, each bleeding fragment kept its own identity and his. The papillae of the tongue were ser- pents, and each one gnashed its poisoned teeth upon that fodder. And yet, though the sensorium of Arthur was abso- lutely unimpai…
