Excerpt from Paris and Helen Paris and Helen Part I Upon Mount Ida in a dark-watered glen Amid green forests far from living men Paris was nurtured. Cold, pure water springs Ripple in shadows and the ousel sings A tune shade-ruffled with each wandering cloud That fills the glade, wavering now low, now loud. In mossy stillness glide the tranquil days Whose light among the pebbles quietly plays With no companion. Arachnè from the grass Hangs on a silver thread o'er running glass Where lies the image of the fronded Fern - Spirit of water, arisen in rocky urn, A dripping shadow of the murmuring stream, Moist skeleton hanging in days golden beam. All down the rocky gorge these frail forms lie Curled sunbeams fallen through the branch-roofed sky And turned to shadows or to shapes of mist Secluded from all winds. And ever hissed The scattered spray showering on leaf and stone About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
