Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leda Leda Brown and bright as an agate, mountain-cool, Eurotas singing slips from pool to pool; Down rocky gullies; through the cavernous pines, And chestnut groves; down where the terraced vines And gardens overhang; through valleys grey With olive trees, into a soundless bay Of the Ægean. Silent and asleep Lie those pools now: but where they dream most deep, Men sometimes see ripples of shining hair And the young grace of bodies pale and bare, Shimmering far down - the ghosts these mirrors hold Of all the beauty they beheld of old, White limbs and heavenly eyes and the hair´s river of gold, For once these banks were peopled: Spartan girls Loosed here their maiden girdles and their curls, And stooping o´er the level water stole His darling mirror from the sun through whole Rapturous hours of gazing. The first star Of all this milky constellation, far Lovelier than any nymph of wood or green, Was she whom Tyndarus had made his queen For her sheer beauty and subtly moving grace - Leda, the fairest of our mortal race.
