from Bacchanalia
Loitering and leaping,
With saunter, with bounds –
Flickering and circling
In files and in rounds –
Gaily their pine-staff green
Tossing in air,
Loose o'er their shoulders white
Showering their hair –
See! the wild Maenads
Break from the wood,
Youth and Iacchus
Maddening their blood.
See! through the quiet land
Rioting they pass –
Fling the fresh heaps about,
Trample the grass.
Tear from the rifled hedge
Garlands, their prize;
Fill with their sports the field,
Fill with their cries.
– Matthew Arnold (1867)
