…dravest love from thee who dravest me. The same harrowing, mysterious voice was to be heard in the call of the Greek God Apollo to the fleeing maiden daphne, daughter of the river penaeus, as he pursued her over the plain. O nymph, o penaeus, daughter…
…and her head was now but a tree's top. Her gleaming beauty alone remained. This is indeed a dull and unrewarding finish. Apollo the sun the lord of time and ripeness, no longer pressed his frightening suit, but instead simply named the laurel his favorite…
