Apollo

"V.

I stand at noon upon the peak of Heaven;

Then with unwilling steps I wander down

Into the clouds of the Atlantic even;

For grief that I depart they weep and frown:

What look is more delightful than the smile

With which I soothe them from the western isle?..."

 

 

from "Hymn of Apollo", 1820, by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
