MEDITATING ON OLYMPIA
poetry [ ]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
by [Josephides ]

2007-03-19  |     | 



“Alas. My whole life was in vainâ€
Rodin overawed cried out
When he first saw Apollo at Olympia.

And frantically he rummaged
The bottom of his pouch.
Where was the fault he wondered ?
Was it a tool he had neglected ?
A tool that needed the affection of his touch ?

Breathless he dashed to the workshop of Phidias
And everywhere he sought – deep in his thoughts –
For any little thing that might have helped
Distraught he dug his fingers in the soil.

Might he, by chance, discover
A tool of Hephaestus,
He never knew ?

Might he find a godly tool
Olympia hides ?

A tool that stirs,
And elates the soul,
And sets it free.
