Soon at her vestibule they pause, and hear A voice of singing from a lovely place,...
الصفحة 146 - She ended, and the mules with glittering lash Plied, who soon leave the river in their rear. Onward continuously their swift feet flash. She like an understanding charioteer Scourged them with judgment, and their course did steer So to precede Odysseus and the rest. And the sun fell, and they the grove came near. There on the earth sat down with anxious breast Odysseus, and in prayer the child of Zeus addressed...
الصفحة 110 - Thither the long-winged birds retired to sleep, Falcon and owl and sea-crow loud of tongue, Who plies her business in the watery deep ; And round the hollow cave her tendrils flung A healthy vine, with purpling clusters hung; And fountains four, in even order set, Near one another, from the stone out-sprung, Streaming four ways their crystal-showery jet Through meads of parsley soft and breathing violet...
الصفحة 276 - ... fair, Came a strong wind and whirled them skyward through the air. And I saw Sisyphus in travail strong Shove with both hands a mighty sphere of stone. With feet and sinewy wrists he laboring long Just pushed the vast globe up, with many a groan ; But when he thought the huge mass to have thrown Clean o'er the summit, the enormous weight Back to the nether plain rolled tumbling down. He, straining, the great toil resumed, while sweat Bathed each laborious limb, and the brows smoked with heat.
الصفحة 187 - And to the royal virgin answered he : ' Child of a generous sire, if willed it be By Thunderer Zeus, who all dominion hath, That I my home and dear return yet see, There at thy shrine will I devote my breath, There worship thee, dear maid, my saviour from dark death.
الصفحة 145 - Thy journey, with safe conduct, by my father's will : — " Hard by the roadside an illustrious grove, Athene's, all of poplar, thou shalt find. Through it a streaming rivulet doth rove, And the rich meadow-lands around it wind. There the estate lies, to my sire assigned, There his fat vineyards from the town so far As a man's shout may travel. There reclined, Tarry such while, and thy approach debar, Till we belike within my father's mansion are. " Then to the town Phaeacian, and inquire (Plain...
الصفحة 251 - Forthwith from Erebus a phantom crowd Loomed forth, the shadowy people of the dead, — Old men, with load of earthly anguish bowed, Brides in their bloom cut off, and youths unwed, Virgins whose tender eyelids then first shed True sorrow, men with gory arms renowned, Pierced by the sharp sword on the death-plain red. All these flock darkling with a hideous sound, Lured by the scent of blood, the open trench around.
الصفحة 137 - By the swift river, on the margent green ; Then to the waters dark the vestments bare. And in the stream-filled trenches stamped them clean, Urging the welcome toil with emulation keen. Which having washed and cleansed they spread before The sunbeams, on the beach, where most did lie Thick pebbles, by the sea- wave washed ashore.
