XLVII
James R. Lowell has taken the story of Rhœcus as the subject of one of his finest poems.
"Hear now this fairy legend of old Greece,
As full of freedom, youth and beauty still,
As the immortal freshness of that grace
Carved for all ages on some Attic frieze."
Poem:—
| The Hamadryad | Walter S. Landor |
