II—THE GREEKS

I
Pythagoras

I. THE GOLDEN BROTHERHOOD

Dawn on Crotona, dawn without a cloud.

In the still garden that Pythagoras made,

The Temple of the Muses, firm as truth,

Lucid as beauty, the white marriage-song

Made visible, of beauty and truth in one,

Flushed with the deepening East.

It was no dream.
