from Empedocles on Etna
– What forms are these coming
So white through the gloom?
What garments out-glistening
The gold-flowered broom?
What sweet-breathing presence
Out-perfumes the thyme?
What voices enrapture
The night's balmy prime? –
'Tis Apollo comes leading
His choir, the Nine,
– The leader is fairest,
But all are divine.
They are lost in the hollows!
They stream up again!
What seeks on this mountain
The glorified train? –
They bathe on this mountain,
In the spring by their road;
Then on to Olympus,
Their endless abode.
– Whose praise do they mentioni?
Of what is it told? –
What will be for ever;
What was from of old.
– Matthew Arnold (1852)
