Chapter III
"O Helen, fair beyond compare! I'll make a garland of thy hair, Shall bind my heart for evermair, Until the day I die!" Across the lawn the shadows move slowly, and with a vague grace that adds to their charm. The birds are drowsy from the heat, and, sitting half hidden in the green branches, chant their songs in somewhat lazy fashion. All nature has succumbed to the fierce power of Phoebus Apollo.
