imposes silence and attention on everything loud

makes them taste a new
longing—to
lie placid as a
mirror, that the deep heavens may be reflected in
them ;—the genius of the heart, which teaches the
clumsy and too hasty hand to hesitate, and to grasp
more delicately; which scents the hidden and for-
gotten treasure, the drop of goodness and sweet
spirituality under thick dark ice, and is a divining-
rod for every grain of gold, long buried and im-
prisoned in mud and sand; the genius of the heart,
from contact with which every one goes away richer ;
not favoured or surprised, not as though gratified
and oppressed by the good things of others; but
richer in himself, newer than before, broken up,
blown upon, and sounded by a thawing wind; more
uncertain perhaps, more delicate, more fragile, more
bruised, but full of hopes which as yet lack names,
full of a new will and current, full of a new ill-will

"'Close by, a rock of less enormous height
Breaks the wild waves, and forms a dangerous strait;
Full on its crown a fig's green branches rise,
And shoot a leafy forest to the skies;
Beneath, Charybdis holds her

'Midst roaring whirlpools, and absorbs the main;
Thrice in her gulfs the boiling seas subside,
Thrice in dire thunders she refunds the tide.

Αυτά 'πε και τους τρίποδαις μετρούσε τους ωραίους,
τους λέβηταις, τα ενδύματα λαμπρά και το χρυσάφι,
και τίποτε δεν του 'λειπεν• αλλ' έκλαιε για την γη του
την πατρική, κ' εσέρνονταν της φλοισβερής θαλάσσης 220
'ς την άκρη αναστενάζοντας• κ' ήλθ' η Αθηνά σιμά του,
κ' εφάνη νέος 'ς το κορμί,
προβάτων
επιστάτης,
ωσάν τα βασιλόπαιδα τρυφερομορφωμένος•
διπλή φλοκάταν εύμορφη 'ς τους ώμους της εφόρει,
'ς τα λαμπρά πόδια σάνδαλα, και ακόντ' είχε 'ς τα χέρια.
