Sara Teasdale - River to the Sea |
|
Left to herself, the serpent now began
To change; her elfin blood in madness ran,
Her mouth foam'd, and the grass, therewith besprent,
Wither'd at dew so sweet and virulent;
Her eyes in torture fix'd, and anguish drear,
Hot, glaz'd, and wide, with lid-lashes all sear,
Flash'd
phosphor
and sharp sparks, without one cooling tear.

Suda - Lives of the Hellenistic Poets |

"But I sent on my messenger,
With cunning arrows poisonous and keen,
To take
forthwith
her laughing life from her,
And dull her little een,
"And white her cheek, and still her breath,
Ere her too buoyant Hodge had reached her side;
So, when he came, he clasped her but in death,
And never as his bride.
