THOU seest yonder snowy promontory Jutting out o'er the sea. That is the rock Of Leucate. From it Deucalion, To cure himself of love for matchless Pyrrha; Phobus, Phocension of the house of Codrus, And Cephalus, the son of Dyonesus, And sad rejected lover of Ptaola, To heal love's wounds, headlong impetuous leaped. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INVERSNAID by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS STEADFASTNESS; THE LOVER BESEECHETH HIS MISTRESS by THOMAS WYATT HAVE YOU PLANTED A TREE? by HENRY ABBEY HOMESICKNESS by HENRY BELLAMANN VERDANT GREEN AND THE CROW by ROBERT BRUCE SPRING FANTASIES: 2.
