Dreams Of Hellas And Other Poems PDF Download

Excerpt from Dreams of Hellas, and Other Poems Part one Daphnis Hellas, mother of Immortals, Did Zeus with lightning quicken thee. Or Helios kindle fires within thy breast? The hem of thy enchanted robe Is kissed by amorous seas; Did sly Poseidon steal within thine arms When rose the impassioned Deep, Or were thy sons conceived Through Love descending from the skies. Or by the rays of iridescent stars? And were thy daughters nursed upon a breast Whose milk thou didst secrete from honeyed flowers? A dreamer dreamed beside the sea, He pondered wonderingly on man, And age and death, The ancient, young, the deep, deep sea, The sea alive. Between the dim and distant isles And upland of the hazy hills Great Helios lies in couch of gold, And watches with his sleepy eyes The soft and ever-changing view, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
