In all her ways of life, so that she seemed

Her own mind made, the common thoughts of men;
Ay, she that to-day came down into our woe
And stood among the griefs that buzz upon us,
Like one who is forced aside from a bright journey
To stoop in a small-room'd cottage, where loud flies
Pester the inmates and the windows darken;
This she, this Judith, out of her quiet pride,
And out of her guarded purity, to walk
Where God himself from violent whoredom could
Scarcely preserve her

Euripides - Electra |

My lethe-freighted bark with reckless prore
Cleaves the rough sea 'neath wintry
midnight

My old foe at the helm our compass eyes,
With Scylla and Charybdis on each shore,
A prompt and daring thought at every oar,
Which equally the storm and death defies,
While a perpetual humid wind of sighs,
Of hopes, and of desires, its light sail tore.

And look as all were capable of love;
And in their motion smelt much like to flowers
Inspir'd by th'

When I pass thy door at night
I a benediction breathe:
"Ye who have the
sleeping
world
In your care,
"Guard the linen sweet and cool, 5
Where a lovely golden head
With its dreams of mortal bliss
Slumbers now!
