ships_____ receive
hands I for you Trojans
I for keeping her
[else-whither]
now seized dreams
deed girl without free
bolds displeasure O
ransom, violently lambs
burnt away hot prophet
shallowed assembly
flashed furiously so
_-resounding_-sea quarrel, c-
oral
[have toiled]
now entreating dreams:
_________I for keep
I for battle
“and seized the son
of Peleus by his yellow
hair…”

Hera: while fray I mule, golden-haired
run withal Mount Mycale
golden land, bore girl, river
O peerless among
them, milky suckling
Zeus: fair skin Nireus three to Thebes
false dreamers dream falsely
“but as yet the end is not in sight…”

anything i scribe here feels inadequate to the language. i will try, gladly, luxuriate - ever, but note immediate the stun of the image. terrifying beauty.
o and first line totally in best sense resonates Dickinson, which i mean in the best, non-derivative, sense of lineage.
