From the `Antigone'
| Overcome—O bitter sweetness, | | Inhabitant of the soft cheek of a girl— | | The rich man and his affairs, | | The fat flocks and the fields’ fatness, | | Mariners, rough harvesters; | | Overcome Gods upon Parnassus; | | | | | | Overcome the Empyrean; hurl | | Heaven and Earth out of their places, | | That in the same calamity | | Brother
and brother, friend and friend, | | Family and family, | | City and city may contend, | | By that great glory driven
wild. | | | | | | Pray I will and sing I must, | | And yet I weep—Oedipus’ child | | Descends into the loveless dust. |
