“Ηλυθε, και πιεν αιμα κελαινεφες: αυτικα δ' εγνω
.”
Hom Od xi, 152.
Hom Od xi, 152.
The dead in Hades' dark domain
Flock'd round the hero, but in vain,
Weak, senseless shadows, dead in soul,
Without all power, or life's controul:—
Flock'd round the hero, but in vain,
Weak, senseless shadows, dead in soul,
Without all power, or life's controul:—
Till there was given mysterious food
The taste of sacrifice and blood,
The wandering shade was then made strong,
Restor'd to thought, and sight, and tongue.
The taste of sacrifice and blood,
The wandering shade was then made strong,
Restor'd to thought, and sight, and tongue.
“As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent
forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.”
Zech. ix 11.
“Would I,” said Job, “could find His place,
That I might meet Him face to face,
He strength would give me in that need,
That I with Him my cause might plead.”
That I might meet Him face to face,
He strength would give me in that need,
That I with Him my cause might plead.”
The soul thus in her solitude
Augurs of that life-giving Blood,
That it may drink, and not in vain,
But in that hour may life sustain.
Augurs of that life-giving Blood,
That it may drink, and not in vain,
But in that hour may life sustain.
