My soul is a flame astream!

Zeus, strike swift from the raging skies,

That I may die with my dream!

He waked and saw two hounds, tugging their leash,

Burst through the covert, and heard laughter bell

Like a clear stream as Helen followed them.

They drank, were quiet. Itys stood at gaze; Itys

Seeing in all things one miraculous face, Beholds

And how her tunic left one bright breast bare, Helen

And how she smoothed her hair back with one hand....
