Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of Many Days The three daughters of Proetus, King of Argos, were stricken with madness by Dionysus in consequence of their despising his worship. The King applied to Melampus for assistance in their recovery, which was effected by pursuing them, with shouting and singing, from Argos to Mount Sicyon. "Oh! struggle! sweet as to the mountaineer The breasting of a skyward-towered height, Where wild, familiar winds come rushing down, Like foes to turn him from their fastnesses, And still he presses upward, upward still, Divining the victorious end of toil, The high, deep silences against the blue!" Thus I, Melampus, sang as on we sped Toward the mountain-goal of Sicyon; And, still pursuing, still more clearly sang, "´Tis victory that shall requite our toil! Know this, ye men of Argolis, ye sons Of heroes who at Colchis did the deed; Whose god-like hearts sprang upward to the skies, When o´er the sea the lyre´s wild music swept About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
