Description
Excerpt from On the Cave of the Nymphs in the Thirteenth Book of the Odyssey: From the Greek of Porphyry
High at the head a branching olive grows And crowns the pointed clifi''s with shady boughs. A cavern pleasant, though involved in night, Beneath it lies, the N aiades'' delight: Where bowls and urns of workmanship divine And massy beams in native marble shine; On which the Nymphs amazing webs display, Of purple hue and exquisite array.
