[825] In Crete the Forerunner of Greece, Mr. and Mrs. Hawes remark that Browning’s great monologue corresponds perfectly with all we know of the Minoan goddess—
I shed in Hell o’er my pale people peace
On earth, I caring for the creatures guard
Each pregnant yellow wolf and fox-bitch sleek,
And every feathered mother’s callow brood,
And all that love green haunts and loneliness.
[826] Iliad, xv., 175.
