Eugene Lee-Hamilton quotes
The hollow sea-shell, which for years hath stood On dusty shelves, when held against the ear Proclaims its stormy parent, and we hear The faint, far murmur of the breaking flood. We hear the sea. The Sea? It is the blood In our own veins, impetuous and near.
Eugene Lee-Hamilton
Fourteen small broidered berries on the hern Of Circe's mantle, each of magic gold; Fourteen of lone Calypso's tears that rolled Into the sea, for pearls to come to them; Fourteen clear signs of omen in the gem With which Medea human fate foretold Fourteen small drops, which Fautus, growing old, Craved of the Fiend, to water Life's stem.
Eugene Lee-Hamilton
