Book Description:
Stolen from Artemis that jealous maid To please Athena, and the dappled hide Of a tall stag who in some mountain glade Had met the shaft; and then the herald cried, And from the pillared precinct one by one Went the glad Greeks well pleased that they their simple vows had done. Long time he lay and hardly dared to breathe, And heard the cadenced drip of spilt out wine, And the rose petals falling from the wreath As the night breezes wandered through the shrine, And seemed to be in some entranced swoon Till through the open roof above the full and brimming moon Flooded with sheeny waves the marble floor, When from his nook up leapt the venturous lad. . . . Included in this volume first published in 1881 are 'Charmides' and numerous other Poems and Sonnets (as they're labeled in the table of contents). There was some controversy over the 1882 fourth edition, which abridged certain controversial parts of the title poem, doing it considerable damage. The elesions were restored for the 1908 (and later) editions.
