Surge answers Surge and Deep doth call on Deep; This Line in Foam and Thunder issues forth, Spurred by the West or smitten by the North, Sombre in all its sullen Deeps, and all Clear at the Crest, and foaming to the Fall, The next with silver Murmur dies away, Like Tides that falter to Calypso's Bay!
On Calypso's isle Calypso gives to Odysseus a bronze axe for his raft-making. The poet is perfectly consistent. There are also examples both of bronze axes and, apparently, of bronze knives. Thus, though the woodcutter's or carpenter's axe is of bronze in two passages cited, iron is the usual material of the axe or adze. In commenting upon this Mr. Leaf is scarcely at the proper point of view.
These words with which Penelope excused herself, wrought more affection in Ulysses than if upon a first sight she had given up herself implicitly to his embraces; and he wept for joy to possess a wife so discreet, so answering to his own staid mind, that had a depth of wit proportioned to his own, and one that held chaste virtue at so high a price; and he thought the possession of such a one cheaply purchased with the loss of all Circe's delights, and Calypso's immortality of joys; and his long labours and his severe sufferings past seemed as nothing, now they were crowned with the enjoyment of his virtuous and true wife Penelope.
And so Calypso's consoled, is she," And he sniggered over this gratifying truth, happy in the corner of the omnibus during the rest of the journey. Pen was very anxious to hear from his envoy what had been the result of the latter's mission; and as soon as the two young men could be alone, the ambassador spoke in reply to Arthur's eager queries.
All around him now, as the air grew sweet with the breath of orange blossoms, a subtler scent, delicately persistent, came to him on the sea-wind; and he remembered it! the lilac perfume of China-berry in bloom; Calypso's own immortal fragrance.
Once the stairs outside creaked, and he raised his head, listening absently, then returned to the task before him with a sigh. All his windows were open; the warm night air was saturated with the odour of Bermuda lilies. Once or twice he laid down his pen and stared out into the darkness as a subtler perfume grew on the breeze the far fragrance of china-berry in bloom; Calypso's breath!
But, even so, with that lure of Calypso's doubloon ever before him, it was too probable that he would not leave the neighbourhood without some further investigation "an investigation," the "King" explained, "which might well take the form of a midnight raid; murdered in our beds, and so forth."
"By the water be it, then," calls out Captain Gancy, decisively. "We shall risk it!" "Yes, yes!" agreed the late Calypso's second and third officers. "Anything but lose our boat!" Never did crew or passengers get more quickly on board a craft, nor was there ever a more unceremonious leave-taking between guests and host, than that between the castaways and Orundelico.
Even Calypso's secret hoard will pale before the romance of our subterranean millions I mean billions and poor Henry Tobias will need neither hangman's rope nor your friend Webster's cartridges for his quietus. At the mere rumour of our fortune, he will suddenly turn a green so violent that death will be instantaneous." So, for that evening, all was laughingly decided.
Luckily the Calypso's crew is a well-disciplined one, every hand on board having served in her for years. The only two boats left them the gig and pinnace are therefore let down to the water, without damage to either, and, by like dexterous management, everybody got safely into them.
