When resting weary limbs at last on beds of Asphodel
great Ajax strove some vast rock's weight to throw
the oryx bolted and the yuge winged storks arose
............................above the boatyard forest
to dip their pinions in the painted bow
again; -- and thrice she looked back, and twice the foe drew near...
in doubt to deem himself a god, or beast.
And all withdrew. All withdrew long since, and the land was barren
............................the women who had been outcast
remained fruitless, and the thin music continued
when winds were assuaged at sunset
yet the second temple was not like the first.
First, in the desert. Then...
A port. A little town. No, a little larger town...
A forest of tall sails and masts. Birds wheeling, in the ebb
...................................of twilight
ghosts of outcast women returning lamenting,
.....................purged not in Lethe.
