Here's a version with the carnage cropped off of one of my favorite scenes:
"Achilles exploded forward, fury
Incarnate behind the curve of his shield,
A glory of metalwork, and the plumes
Nodded and rippled on his helmet’s crest,
Thick golden horsehair set by Hephaestus,
And his spearpoint glinted like the Evening Star,
In the gloom of night,
Star of perfect splendor
A gleam in the air as Achilles poised
His spear with murderous aim at Hector. . ."
