Helen in Egypt, by H.D. (Book 5:8)

...we are children of Zeus;
I must wait, I must wonder again
at the fate that has brought me here;

surely, she must forget,
she must forget the past,
and I must forget Achilles....

------

... but never the ember
born of his strange attack,
never his anger,

never the fire,
never the brazier,
never the Star in the night.
