XLIII
ОглавлениеSurely somehow, in some measure,
There will be joy and fulfilment—
Cease from this throb of desire—
Even for Sappho!
Surely some fortunate hour 5
Phaon will come, and his beauty
Be spent like water to plenish
Need of that beauty!
Where is the breath of Poseidon,
Cool from the sea-floor with evening? 10
Why are Selene's white horses
So long arriving?
