He would return that way, as well she knew,
To Corinth from the shore; for freshly blew
The eastern soft wind, and his galley now
Grated the quaystones with her brazen prow
In port Cenchreas, from Egina isle
Fresh anchor'd; whither he had been awhile
To

Waits with high marble doors for blood and incense rare.

coasts; those deep bays; those great rivers that, losing the aspect
of rivers, seem bringing new seas to the sea; that sea which,

and recrossing each other, all combine to give the idea of a
country that may at any moment disintegrate and disappear.

The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself, it only live and die,
But if that flower with base

The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester, smell far worse than weeds.
