NEWS FROM OLYMPIA Pallas shall sit enthroned in wisdom's station,

Eros and Psyche be forever wed,

And still the primal loveliest creation

Yield new delight from ancient beauty bred.

Triumphant as of old,

Changeless while Art and Song their warrant hold,

The visions of our childhood haunt us still,

Still Hellas sways us with her charm supreme.

The morn is past, but Man has not the will

To banish yet the dream.
