Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cassia: And Other Verse Cassia (From Zola´s "Rome") There were, in meadows of the Trebizond (So runs the fable), certain treacherous flowers Whose honey, like a fell magician´s wand, Bore spells to steal away the sentient powers Of him who tasted in some moment fond; And henceforth knew he never lucid hours: Such poison fragile flower-cups might distill, And bees might gather of their errant will. Oh, wherefore should the venomed sweetness tole, While nectarous Summer´s harmless stores are spurned! Oh, wherefore should the wavering, bee-like soul On Fate´s light breath descend, where, undiscerned, Its dearest bane shall smile away control! Nor, till the wasting flesh shall lie inurned, Shall soar again the spirits winged fire, Freed from the desolation of desire! But I delay. Too long reprieve I crave. Then, let me summon forth all hardihood For these dark annals of the Tiber wave... The palace of the Boccaneras stood Where almost might the auburn current lave Its walls, but that, in tender dreamy mood, Between the ripple and the frowning stone A little garden did with grace atone. Therein - what matters it what flowers did blow, And spake a dual tongue to those might read, In shy perfume, or dyes that frankly glow, Of love naïve, or veiled hearts that bleed?
