The Spring

THE SPRING

Cydonian spring with her attendant train, Maelids and water-girls, Stepping beneath a boisterous wind from Thrace, Throughout this sylvan place Spreads the bright tips, And every vine-stock is Clad in new brilliancies.

And wild desire Falls like black lightning. O bewildered heart, Though every branch have back what last year lost, She, who moved here amid the cyclamen, Moves only now a clinging tenuous ghost.

THE COMING OF WAR: ACTAEON

An image of Lethe, and the fields

Full of faint light but golden,

Gray cliffs, and beneath them

A sea Harsher than granite,

unstill, never ceasing;
