Sitalkas
by Hilda Doolittle
[first published in New Freewoman 1 (Sept. 1913), also included in Heliodora (1924)]
Thou art come at length
more beautiful
than any cool god
in a chamber under
Lycia's far coast,
than any high god
who touches us not
here in the seeded grass,
aye, than Argestes
scattering the broken leaves.
