NARCISSUS 1 Narcissus, reflecting a satisfied face, Cried, "Let everyone note : As I am supreme, so is Greece." Thereupon Echo spoke, 2 "These nymph haunts, this lake, And the depths of saphire slopes Are not solely from your Greece, But - from light, clouds and mists... 3 "Your shape, note, how shimmering, Though you gaze in a crystal pool Reflexion comes from the distant sun , Only the deep is your constant home ." |
