Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marathon, and Other Poems Marathon. What scene is this which round me lies - This lengthened plain I look upon? Greatest of Grecian victories, ´Tis thine, time-honoured Marathon! Proud theatre of martial strife! Grand vortex of departed life! Arena, deluged with a flood Of freely flowing human blood! Yet, as upon this rising mound, This mausoleum of the dead, I sit, and cast my vision round, Where furious thousands fought and bled, ´Tis silence all, save when a note Comes, on the creeping breeze afloat, From yonder rugged mountain rock, Where the rude shepherd guards his flock. Roll back, thou current of departed years! Speed, Fancy, through the shadowy gloom of Eld! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
