Bungay:

CLAY AND TAYLOR, PRINTERS.

The First Story.

And yet I hold there is,

Far off, but not too far for mortal reach,
A calmer height, where, nearer to the stars,
Thought sits alone and gazes with rapt gaze,

A large-eyed maiden in a robe of white,

Who brings the light of Knowledge down, and draws To her pontifical eyes a bridge of gold,

Which spans from earth to heaven.

The Epic of Hades.
