Description:Excerpt from Constantine the Great: A Tragedy Lover of Greece, her laughter and her tears, Brave land that heals the spirit's broken wings, Where long you wander, washing all your yearsFrom sordid aims with high imaginings, No token this, no lute nor magic shellTo lisp of her still glowing songs and seas: One flower I pluck, one fadeless asphodel, -Her brave, her ever fresh fidelities. Bright morning isles of Beauty, still they shine, -Simois lapt in leaves, and fair Troezen, And white Colonus where the rivers twineWhose wave makes wet the jonquil's skirt of green. -A lone tower rocking with a jangled bellUpon the marge of tempest tortured seas, -Who will give ear to this wild tale I tellOf faiths new-born and old fidelities? The groundlings pipe upon a scrannel reed;They fleer at faith, they shriek old virtues down: You keep your soul, you waver not, nor heed;Your rock shall grow its own fresh laurel crown.Come chance, come change, - time sifts and chooses well;Still old loves lighten, still the old hopes ease;The city spreads, but not the citadel, -The firm, the brave, the fair fidelities.
