Excerpt from Helen of Troy To all old Friends; to all who dwell Where Avon dhu and Avon ghel Down to the western waters flow Through valleys dear from long ago; To all who hear the whisper'd spell Of Ken; and Tweed like music swell Hard by the Land Debatable, Or gleaming Shannon seaward go, - To all old Friends! To all that yet remember well What secrets Isis had to tell, How lazy Cherwell loiter'd slow Sweet aisles of blossom'd May below - Whate'er befall, whate'er befell, To all old Friends.

Excerpt from A Daughter of the Gods: The Story of Helen of Troy This is simply a collection of the thoughts and say ings of others about the fair Helen of Troy, and if, as I fear, I have rather overcrowded this sketch with poeti cal quotations, it is because I became an enthusiast, and finding anything which bore reference to her, I could not then omit it. I am indebted to Symonds and Collins for the chap ters on the Iliad and the Odyssey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Helen of Troy and Other Poems Helen of Troy Wild flight on flight against the fading dawn The flames' red wings soar upward duskily. This is the funeral pyre and Troy is dead That sparkled so the day I saw it first, And darkened slowly after. I am she Who loves all beauty - yet I wither it. Why have the high gods made me wreak their wrath - Forever since my maidenhood to sow Sorrow and blood about me? See, they keep Their bitter care above me even now. It was the gods who led me to this lair, That though the burning winds should make me weak, They should not snatch the life from out my lips. Olympus let the other women die; They shall be quiet when the day is done And have no care to-morrow. Yet for me There is no rest. The gods are not so kind To her made half immortal like themselves. It is to you I owe the cruel gift, Leda, my mother, and the Swan, my sire, To you the beauty and to you the bale; For never woman born of man and maid About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Paris and Helen Paris and Helen Part I Upon Mount Ida in a dark-watered glen Amid green forests far from living men Paris was nurtured. Cold, pure water springs Ripple in shadows and the ousel sings A tune shade-ruffled with each wandering cloud That fills the glade, wavering now low, now loud. In mossy stillness glide the tranquil days Whose light among the pebbles quietly plays With no companion. Arachne from the grass Hangs on a silver thread o'er running glass Where lies the image of the fronded Fern - Spirit of water, arisen in rocky urn, A dripping shadow of the murmuring stream, Moist skeleton hanging in days golden beam. All down the rocky gorge these frail forms lie Curled sunbeams fallen through the branch-roofed sky And turned to shadows or to shapes of mist Secluded from all winds. And ever hissed The scattered spray showering on leaf and stone About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Story of Troy is a work of history written by author and historian M. Clarke. It is an excellent choice for those wishing to familiarise themselves with the story in a quick and efficient manner. Clarke opens his book with a brief discussion of Homer, author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and whose writing serves as a major source of information about the history of Troy. The author then begins his interpretation of Troy with several chapters examining the city's geography and geo-political status. Of course, any history of Troy must address the Trojan War, and it is on this topic that Clarke spends the majority of his time. The writings of Homer, as translated by Alexander Pope, serve as Clarke's primary source of information about the war. The book proceeds in a logical fashion, and concludes with a chapter on the death of Achilles and the status of the Greek chiefs after the war. Clarke has created a well-written account of Troy's history. Although written in the nineteenth century, and therefore lacking in some of the historical breakthroughs of the modern world, The Story of Troy is still an interesting and useful interpretation of the events detailed. Clarke's writing is concise and definitive and this book could best be categorized as an introductory history. Readers interested in a basic history of Troy will enjoy The Story of Troy. Clarke's passion is clear and his work here is commendable. This title is a worthy addition to the personal library of history enthusiasts everywhere.
