VIIn the meanwhile, on the rugged mountains of Epirus,His virgin sisters spin Milesian wool For the dear one who is away.Late at night, with their industrious maids,They turn the spindles with their waxy fingers;And the wind passes, the stars pass along.Olympias, lost in a dream,Listens to the long ...
