A piece of dada OR a not-the-mama

Vengeance recompense kindness

Farewell yields
Wicked that feelings heart yacht
Words awaiting power

“And now,' said the unknown, 'farewell kindness, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the good - now the god of vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!”
At these words he gave a signal, and, as if only awaiting this signal, the yacht instantly put out to sea.
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
