Synopsis
Excerpt from The House of the Winds
The Winds
So old they are, so young they are, whose tuneful voices stirred
The tree-tops of Atlantis: whom skin-clad hunters heard,
And dark Accadian lovers and 'plaining poets too,
When Thought was in her cradle and human speech was new.
They saw Iolcos shining, the Argo by its shore;
They heard the Sirens calling in mythic days of yore;
They gave Columbus courage; they sped Pizarro's keel,
Before the leagues were lessened by cleaving bows of steel.
Their House is arched with azure and carpeted by green,
And curtained are its casements by sunlit damascene;
