Book Description
Excerpt from Letters Literary Remains of Edward Fitzgerald, Vol. 6 of 7 Scene I. - A retired Grove near Antioch. Enter Cipriano, Eusebio, and Julian, with books. Cipr. This is the place, this the sequester'd spot Where, in the flower about and leaf above, I find the shade and quiet that I love, And oft resort to rest a wearied wing; And here, good lads, leave me alone, but not Lonely, companion'd with the books you bring: That while the city from all open doors Abroad her gaping population pours, To swell the triumph of the pomp divine That with procession, sacrifice, and song Convoys her tutelary Zeus along For installation in his splendid shrine; I, flying from the hubbub of the throng That overflows her thoroughfares and streets, And here but faintly touches and retreats, In solitary meditation may Discount at ease my summer holiday.
