Poem: Phedre
上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Phedre
(To Sarah Bernhardt)
上海龙凤shlf最新地址How vain and dull this common world must seem
To such a One as thou, who should'st have talked
At Florence with Mirandola, or walked
上海龙凤shlf最新地址Through the cool olives of the Academe:
Thou should'st have gathered reeds from a green stream
For Goat-foot Pan's shrill piping, and have played
With the white girls in that Phaeacian glade
上海龙凤shlf最新地址Where grave Odysseus wakened from his dream.
Ah! surely once some urn of Attic clay
上海龙凤shlf最新地址Held thy wan dust, and thou hast come again
Back to this common world so dull and vain,
上海龙凤shlf最新地址For thou wert weary of the sunless day,
The heavy fields of scentless asphodel,
The loveless lips with which men kiss in Hell.
