The opening
AFFINITY A PANTHEISTIC MADRIGAL
A PANTHEISTIC MADRIGAL
On an ancient temple gleaming, Two great blocks of marble high Thrice a thousand years lay dreaming Dreams against an Attic sky.
Set within one silver whiteness, Two wave-tears for Venus shed, Two fair pearls of orient brightness, Through the waste of water sped.
In the Generalife’s fresh closes, By a Moorish light illumed, Two delicious, tender roses By a fountain met and bloomed.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
