“A curtain of wax dividing them from the bride flight,
The upflight of the murderess into a heaven that loves her.”

The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
Went to the ground; and the repeated air
Of sad Electra’s poet had the power
To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.”
