Excerpt from The Adventure: A Romantic Variation on a Homeric Theme
Circe
I tell of Her that is the mystery
Whose name none knoweth. Circe was She called
Long Syne, and still the old name beckons Her,
Till, at its hail, shines, as through sea-water
With a wavering brightness, her bewildering smile.
She is the mystery on whose vague sea
Life sinks, thought perishes, the will lets go
In a last gasp of bubbles all its breath.
She is the mystery, voyaging on whose vastness,
Man's thought yet farther ranges, till his will
Unfurls the eagle-wings of Liberty.
The provocation, the supreme occasion
For the adventure of his faith, is She.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an adaptation of the classical Greek play "Circe" by the author, reimagining the mythic sorceress as a priestess and protector of her enchanted island home. The play explores questions of freedom, power, and the human condition. Amidst an atmosphere of ancient mystery and ritual, the protagonist Ulysses, a wanderer on a quest for self-discovery and liberation, confronts Circe and her mystical powers. The author delves into the complexities of human desire and the limitations of control, weaving a narrative rich in symbolism and philosophical inquiry.
