Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Flight of Helen, and Other Poems The Flight of Helen Now before the Paphian shrine Slow the wreaths of smoke entwine, While the laggard priestess toils, One by one, with fragrant oils The low, sputtering lamps to fill. For upon the windy hill Now the lovely goddess stands, Eager to make good her gage, And across the echoing lands Calls aloud her heart´s desire: "Helen! Helen!" - And the Loves, Fain to add impotent aid, Lift the chorus high and higher, While with sober pantomime Of her joyous mien they stand, Shouting through uplifted hand: "Helen! Helen! it is time." When the signal of her doom Stirred the stillness of the room, Starting from her purple bed, With wide eyes and troubled face, Helen stood, and for a space Listened, trembling in the dark. But as through the quiet place Once again the echo sped, Like the ebb of some great sea, Fear and sin and memory, - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
