from The Strayed Reveller
They see the ferry
On the broad, clay-laden
Lone Chorasmian stream – thereon,
With snort and strain,
Two horses, strongly swimming, tow
The ferry-boat, with woven ropes
To either bow
Firm harnessed by the mane, a chief
With shout and shaken spear
Stands at the prow and guides them, but astern
The cowering merchants in long robes
Sit pale beside their wealth
Of silk-bales and of balsam-drops,
Of gold and ivory,
Of turquoise-earth and amethyst,
Jasper and chalcedony,
And milk-barred onyx-stones.
– Matthew Arnold (1849)
