King Alcinous; thy fair palace has had fairer offspring,

Thou art ruling the world still by the beautiful form;

Out of thy mansion majestic was born in a song the Greek Temple,

Sentineled round with a choir—Titans columnar of stone,

Bearing forever their burden to hymns of a Parian measure,

Wearing out heaviest Fate to a Pindaric high strain.

Look! those boys of thy garden with tapers are moving to statues,

Seeming to walk into stone while they are bringing the light;

Hellas springs out of thy palace all sculptured with actions heroic,

Even the God we discern turning to marble by faith.
