travelers / the ithacan naiads / 'tannhausering' / at the mouth /
of polyphemus' cave-city / the screen / your eye-skull-is-not-knot /
within the cave the clustring bees attend
their waxen works, or from the roof depend
perpetual waters o'er the pavement glide
two marble doors, unfold on either side
sacred the south, by which the gods descend
but mortals enter at the northern end
