Question 707

She looked over his shoulder

For athletes at their games,

Men and women in a dance

Moving their sweet limbs quick, quick, to music,

But there on the shining shield

His hands had set no dancing-floor

But a weed-choked field.

A ragged urchin,

aimless and alone,

Loitered about that vacancy;

A bird flew up to safety from his well-aimed stone:

That girls are raped, that two boys knife a third,

Were axioms to him, who'd never heard

Of any world where promises were kept,

Or one could weep because another wept.

The thin-lipped armorer,

Hephaestos, hobbled away,

Thetis of the shining breasts

Cried out in dismay

At what the god had wrought

To please her son,

The strong Iron-hearted man-slaying _____

Who would not live long.
