The seventh angel
is completely different
even his name is different
Shemkel

(...)

Shemkel
is dark and nervous
has been punished many times
for smuggling in sinners

(...)

When they paint the seven
Byzantine painters
make Shemkel
look like the others

afraid
they'd fall into heresy
if they painted him
as he is
dark nervous
in a faded old halo

(excerpts from Z. Herbert poem)
