Meleager : Ode to Spring

Diary entry, August 22, 1831: "And then we read merely the Greek of a passage in the poem next to my favorite poem; and then Mr. Boyd gave me Meleager’s ode to Spring, to read, while he “stretched his legs” in the garden. Very very happy! – Meleager’s ode is beautiful tho' monotonous: but the monotony is much less felt in the concluding lines. Nota Bene Ba! Buy Wakefield’s Bion, & Moschus & Meleager”

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Barrett Browning      Print: Book
