To-day we are to fight the terrible Chimæra." As soon as they had eaten their morning meal, and drank some sparkling water from a spring called Hippocrene, Pegasus held out his head, of his own accord, so that his master might put on the bridle.
'I don't break my rule without good reason, he observed. 'I am afraid that reason exists at present. 'I am afraid it does. What have you got? 'Only a little wine. 'What wine? 'Do try it. I call it "the blushful Hippocrene," that the poet describes as "Tasting of Flora and the country green; Dance, and Provencal song, and sun-burnt mirth." De Stancy took the flask, and drank a little.
He turned his head so that he might not look at it and moved stealthily around a stone wall toward the woods beyond the garden Marcia's woods, pine woods they were, their floor carpeted with brown needles where he and she had used to go and walk of an afternoon to the rocks by Sweetwater Spring, the source of the stream, they said, which Jerry had named the "blushful Hippocrene," the fountain of the Muses who met there to do Marcia, their goddess, honor.
For the after century it was reserved to restore what we may be permitted to call the spirit of our national literature; to forsake the clinquant of the French mimickers of classic gold; to exchange a thrice-adulterated Hippocrene for the pure well of Shakspeare and of Nature; to clothe philosophy in the gorgeous and solemn majesty of appropriate music; and to invest passion with a language as burning as its thought and rapid as its impulse.
When Perseus cut off Medusa's head, the blood sinking into the earth produced the winged horse Pegasus. Minerva caught him and tamed him and presented him to the Muses. The fountain Hippocrene, on the Muses' mountain Helicon, was opened by a kick from his hoof. The Chimaera was a fearful monster, breathing fire.
