TO HOMER. - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007 TO HOMER. STANDING aloof in giant ignorance, Of thee I hear and of the Cyclades, As one who sits ashore and longs perchance To visit dolphin-coral in deep seas. So thou wast blind ! but then the veil was rent, For Jove uncurtained Heaven to let thee live, And Neptune made for thee a spermy tent, And Pan made sing for thee his forest-hive ; [Aye, on the shores of darkness there is light, And precipices show untrodden green ; There is a budding morrow in midnight ; There is a triple sight in blindness keen; Such seeing hadst thou, as it once befel, To Dian, Queen of Earth, and Heaven, and Hell. |
