First Line: So art thou broken in upon me, apollo
Last Line: This is strange to me, here in the modern twilight.
Subject(s): Apollo


So art thou broken in upon me, Apollo,
Through a splendor of purple garments --
Held by the yellow-haired Clymene
To clothe the white of thy shoulders --
Bare from the day's leaping of horses.
This is strange to me, here in the modern twilight.
