Opis: The Homeric Hymns (Classic Reprint) - Edgar John

Excerpt from The Homeric Hymns

Who, fretted by the haste of fevered life,
Harks to the prisoned voice of murmurous shell,
In fancy wanders by the grey sea swell,
And rests on quiet shore - mid city strife.
Great boon! if brine-crisp air be far away,
And the blue infinite of sky be hid,
And streets monotonous be round him thrid
By care-worn mortals lacking time to stay.

So in the shell of old Homeric lays,
We hear hymned echoes from the world's prime.
When gods were shepherding on hill and plain;
And though the simple faith, the glad surprise
Of gods revealed, the glamour of old time
Be far away, our hearts beat fresh again.
