"What evil, O woman, food or drink, earth-bred Or sent from the flowing sea, Of such having fed Didst thou set on thee This sacrifice And popular cries Of a curse on thy head? Off thou hast thrown him, off hast cut The man from the city: but -- Off from the city thyself shalt be Cut -- to the citizens A hate immense!"
"What evil, O woman, food or drink, earth-bred
ReplyDeleteOr sent from the flowing sea,
Of such having fed
Didst thou set on thee
This sacrifice
And popular cries
Of a curse on thy head?
Off thou hast thrown him, off hast cut
The man from the city: but --
Off from the city thyself shalt be
Cut -- to the citizens
A hate immense!"
That's what I say. And Browning too.
