As ever the proud seven, until Hermes
Listened and leaned, then spoke.
“It was the king
Our father. He has willed that we should wander,
Even as in a dream, and be the gods
Of strangers. Somewhere west of the ocean stream
He sends us, to a circle of small hills—
Come, for I see the place!”
That suffered thunder
Sounded again, agreeing; and they went.
