Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Heavens and Earth: A Book of Poems Argument - Itys, nurtured by centaurs, meets and falls in love with Helen of Troy, before her marriage with Menelaus. What befell therefrom. Slowly blanch-handed Dawn, eyes half-awake, Upraised magnificent the silver urn, Heaped with white roses at the trembling lip, Flowers that bum with crystalline accord And die not ever. Like a pulsing heart Beat from within against the fire-loud verge A milky vast transparency of light Heavy with drowning stars; a swimming void Of august ether, formless as the cloud, And light made absolute. The mountains sighed, Turning in sleep. Dawn held the frozen flame An instant high above the shaggy world, Then, to the crowing of a thousand cocks, Poured out on earth the unconquerable sun! The centaurs awoke! they aroused from their beds of pine, Their long flanks hoary with dew, and their eyes, deep-drowned In the primal slumber of stones, stirred bright to the shine! And they stamped with their hooves and their gallop abased the ground! Swifter than arrowy birds in an eager sky, White-browed kings of the hills where old Titans feast, - Cheiron ordered the charge with a neighing cry, And the thousand hunters tramped like a single beast!
