Agamemnon

Aeschylus

Aeschylus. The poetical works of Robert Browning, Volume 13. Browning, Robert, translator; Berdoe, Edward, editor. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1889.

  1. A husband’s love imprints!
  2. There she stands silent! meets no honour — no
  3. Shame — sweetest still to see of things gone long ago!
  4. And, through desire of one across the main,
  5. A ghost will seem within the house to reign.
  6. And hateful to the husband is the grace
  7. Of well-shaped statues: from — in place of eyes
  8. Those blanks — all Aphrodite dies.
