Excerpt from Via Triumphalis Hile the sun amid blood-red skies, on the Prophet's Height Sank from our sight, Or on Moab Hills the moon rose globed and large, Like a giant's targe, Where the Roman camped, when the darkening heavens grew loud With the rushing crowd Of wings, of a host that flocked, foul, hard, without pity, Round the dying city, Where now grew the fruited vines, and Olivet's spurs, With a young wood of firs Green-fledged, low-murmured as with sough of the sea And, with rosemary Sweet-coppiced, scented the evening air as with spice Out of Paradise, How have we two, in the fragrant, wonderful hour When Night, like a flower, Opened about us, watched the fireflies flitting Around us sitting, And laughed at Athene's owl, all staring-eyed And ruffled in pride, As he leaned from his perch in the almond-bush, each horn As sharp as a thorn!
