Explore "Off Cape Colonna (Poems from Timoleon)" by Herman Melville on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Aloof they crown the foreland lone, / From aloft they loftier rise- / Fair columns, in the aureole rolled / From sunned Greek seas and skies.
They wax, sublimed to fancy's view, / A god-like group against the blue.
Over much like gods! Serene they saw / The wolf-waves board the deck, / And headlong hull of Falconer, / And many a deadlier wreck.
