“Suppliants of the Hearth” ~AESCHYLUS With suppliant olive branch, to what kinder land could Man return? Whose cities and earth of brightened water Olympian lords, ye ancient gods below Whose end possessed the tomb, though Savior Zeus Keeps pious souls and yet receives (respectful in the airy lands of men) Those suppliants of the Hearth, rehearsed! Though for the smarmy scorn of ****** men Before the draught tastes the dregs of waste Return their ships upon the brothing seas And wintry stings of hurricanes the braved Pressed on by lightnings, thunders, cast upon More wild of winds, by facing life to death Undo what wrong the law forbids Cousins of pain who lie in strain upon unwilling beds! Who shows the faithful witness Still unknown by natives here As unexpected to the false Unknown upon who know and last at length! Meloncoly more of song than Ionian strings My heart unused to tears on Nile’s cheek We gather bloom of sorrow Anxious friends Someone in search of strength As exiles, far away on an empty mist! Hear then, ancestral gods And kindly look upon the tears of justice lost With hating people, nothing left to lawlessness undecreed- Our union justly met! Behold the Heavens Invincible in bulwark Touring always the lasting weary Among men, respect of gods! Now will be done Traced easy in the Earth Uncompromised of fortune And blackness through the hearts of men!

In a hope of life, I hope to retire Riot and renown, mind of desire Full of people, still alone as hell Free and Alone, buried in shame In the world of spring, I bear winter Cold and freeze, my path squeeze Behind all, mind full of suspense Unturned and locked, left scorned me In the course of time, I share desert night Dark and still, my heart  imprecise All of all, Life full of dare and fear Undecreed and undared, suspense of all Breathe in hope, one day of rise Ascend high such history will revise Dream to stand together in destination For the world of will and Inspiration
