Excerpt from East and West: The Discovery of America and Other Poems East and West. Part I. The First Meeting of East and West. Yet once again discordant trumpets blare To mar the music of the hemispheres. So heard the ancient world a cry of doom, Of agony which blossomed into prayer, And saw the laden treasuries of years Spilled on the flaming altar of her tomb. Fragrant the memory of Arcadian flutes, And shepherds' dance in groves whose Orphic lutes Flood space with tune; of Jove's Olympian plains Where strive earth's naked gods; and gilded fanes Carving warm outline from Corinthian skies; Or cool Castalian depths where mystery lies; Or the broad terraces of Parthenon Crowned with the sunflash from the virgin's shield, Whose proud chivalric bloom of Attic field In dance of throbbing marbles surges on About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
