to a learned reader such notes are not necessary; for an

Before he went into his quiet cave
To muse for ever--Then a lucid wave,
Scoop'd from its

sisters of mid-sea,
Afloat, and pillowing up the majesty
Of Doris, and the Egean seer, her spouse-- 1010
Next, on a dolphin, clad in laurel boughs,

To gaze on Amphitrite, queen of pearls,
And Thetis pearly too.

Crimsons

The seaman, poised in the bow, rises and falls
As the deep forefoot finds a way through waves;
And there below him, steadily gazing westward,
Facing the wind, the sunset, the long cloud,
The goddess of the ship, proud figurehead,
Smiles inscrutably, plunges to crying waters,
Emerges streaming, gleaming, with jewels falling
Fierily from carved wings and golden breasts;
Steadily glides a moment, then swoops again.

You've not surprised my secret yet
Already the cortege moves on
But left to us is the regret

The maskers have passed by in crowds
It trembles in me like a bell
This heavy secret you ask now
