New Testament Survey Class #2 The Gentile World the glory that was Greece the grandeur that was Rome

To Helen Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o’er a perfumed sea, The weary way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome. - Edgar Allen Poe
