Excerpt from The Pattern of the Iliad He wrought on it the Earth and the Sky and the Sea, the never-weary Sun and the full Moon, and all the signs with which the sky is crowned, the Pleiads and Hyads and the Strength of Orion and the she-bear, which they also call the Wain turning round in her own place, but always watching Orion, she alone of all the constellations may not dip into the baths of Ocean. He made on it two Cities of mortal men, very lovely. In one of them were marriages and feasting, and to the gleam of torches in the upper city brides were being fetched out of their chambers. The marriage song rose loud. Boys, dancers, were spinning, and among them ¿utes and harps were sounding, while the women came and stood admiring, each at her house door.
