Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Search of Belisarius: A Byzantine Legend The Search of Belisarius Prelude I Behold that splendid city of the East, The glory of the Emperor Constantine, When Rome´s long, civil leadership had ceased And on her hills, the home of Cesar´s line, Mid mouldering palaces and gods supine, Men meanly crept: when kings, in that soft nest Upon the Bosphorus, O sad decline! Obeyed like Persians, and like Persians dressed, Had reigned two centuries; - ´twas then befell this quest. II Fain would one linger in that pleasant spot, Ere he embark on wanderings far and wide. A city out of regal ruins got, Where precious gems, to our poor kings denied, With gold and silver in base labor vied. O close my eyes to such magnificence! Lest from my course I, loitering, turn aside, And marvels mused upon, bewilder sense, Her silver-filtered hymns and Eastern opulence.
