Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Powers of the Air The Power of the Air I My father sailed the sea, saw Egypt´s tombs Like polished hills high as Acropolis, An hundred miles inland, yet reached by ships: Saw Caucasus, whose coping of pure snow Supports the delicate tent of azure air That stretches thence above the highest cloud. But I had feared a life adventureless Was buckled to my crooked spine - had feared Never to have the wherewithal to whet That second appetite of feasted friends Which craves for tales of straits and jeopardies That garnished those near faces with odd smiles: Yet lo! I write to recount things heard, seen, In which I even took a trifling part: And witness the more fully what occurred Because the actors noticed me no more Than their own shadows. Not another word! Till I have thanked Aristocles, broad-chested, Apollo-headed, - generous, gentle soul, Who has spared hours from a life, divine With health and wealth and fine capacity For thought and feeling, seconding my blunt Unlikely stilus, till what follows here Is now more worth my theme than I dared hope. O noble man! my heart, though much enlarged, Endures for thy sake silence, after this; For iterance spoils thanks, though more be due Than Hellas owes to Helios, fruits and flowers.
