Set foot once beyond Nilotic
Meroë: Love
will snatch me there on wings. Journey
will snatch me there on wings. Journey
into the dawn
that glows no rosier than yourself,
and I, step
by step, will follow. Accept, lady,
this pearl, prize
from the still sea. She of the Foam,
the Sea-born,
sends it, token of her defeat:
she has despaired,
glimpsing you, of her ancient, bold,
limpid splendour.
– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Andrew Miller
