Then hanging gardens, with flowers and galleries:
O'er vast fountains bending grew ebon-trees;
Temples, where seated on their rich tiled thrones,
Bull-headed idols shone in jasper stones;
Vast halls, spanned by one block, where watch and stare
Each upon each, with straight and moveless glare,
Colossal
heads in circles; the eye sees
Great gods of bronze, their hands upon their knees.

I see a herald from the shore

And thirsty dust, twin-brother of the clay,
Speaks plain of travel far and truthful news--
No dumb surmise, nor tongue of flame in smoke,
Fitfully kindled from the
mountain
pyre;
But plainlier shall his voice say, _All is well,_
Or--but away, forebodings adverse, now,
And on fair promise fair fulfilment come!
