Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from By Veldt and Kopje Voices of Africa Africa Sphinx among continents, - the Nations strive To guess my ancient riddle; Greece essayed - She drooped to death; upon me Rome set gyve - She sank in her own bonds. The Persian laid His life down ´mid my deserts. For a day I smiled on each, then tore them for my play. The Sahara The ghosts of buried cities scale the air When Day wakes my mirage. The lion keeps My iron hills. The bones of men lie bare Where my thirst-sickle its rich harvest reaps. Time, like a little child, amid my sands Builds and unbuilds with feeble, listless hands. Egypt The gods who dwell ´mid equatorial snows Bade Nilus cleave the waste, and I awoke. A giant, robed in mystery, I arose; The young world listened, breathless, when I spoke. My Sphinx Time´s sister is; her brood lies hid Where dream the dead ´neath rock and pyramid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
