    Peace reigned in heaven

    Ambrosia stood
    already mixed
    in the wine bowl

    It was Hermes
    who took up the
    wine jug and poured
    wine for the gods

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    When I saw Eros

    On his way down
    from heaven, he

    wore a soldier's
    cloak dyed purple

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    You are the herdsman of evening

    Hesperus, you herd
    homeward whatever
    Dawn's light dispersed

    You heard sheep--herd
    goats--herd children
    home to thier mothers

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Sleep, darling 
    
    I have a small
    daughter called
    Cleis, who is
    
    like a golden 
    flower
            I wouldn't
    take all Croesus'
    kingdom with love
    thrown in, for her.

    Althought clumsy

    Mnasidicia has a more
    shapely figure than
    our gentle Gyrino

    Tomorrow you had better

    Use your soft hands,
    Dica, to tear off
    dill shoots, to cap
    you lovely curls

    She who wears flowers
    attracts happy
    Graces: they turn
    back from bare head

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    We put the urn aboard ship 
    with this inscription
    
    This is the dust of little
    Timas who unmarried
           led
    into Persephone's dark
          bedroom
    
    And she being far from
          home, girls
    her age took new-edged
          blades
    
    to cut, in mourning for her,
    these curls of thier soft hair

    Cyprian, in my dream

    The folds of a purple
    kercheif shadowed
    your cheeks--the one

    Timas one time sent,
    a timid gift, all
    the way from Phocaea

    In the spring twilight

    The full moon shining:
    Girls take thier places
    as through around an altar

    And their feet move

    Rhythmically, as tender
    feet of Creten girls
    danced once around an

    altar of love, crushing
    a circle of soft
    smooth flowering grass

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Awed by her splendor 
    
    Stars near lovely 
    moon cover thier own
    bright faces
                    when she 
    is roundest and lights 
    earth with her silver

    Now, while we dance

    Come here to us
    gentle Gaiety,
    Revelry, Radiance

    and you Muses
    with lovely hair
