DOUBLE SONG
Aristides E. (Aristides Evangelus) Phoutrides translation
The lithesome maiden stood thrice-fair, Her eyes like gems agleam! "I pour the crimson wine of love In empty cups of gold!" —"Maiden, I am the nestless bird; Flowery boughs bar not My way. Bound for bright suns magnetic, I sail through darkness blind. Seer am I and worshipper Of all that is and lives! I am the harp of thousand strings Of countless sounds!" —"Thou blind! Seest thou not within mine eyes The magnetism and glory Of all the suns?"
