"This mess of hard-kneaded barley-bread and a libation mixed in a
little cup. " -- _Greek Anthology._
There's a white stone-paven floor
Set in a jade-green field
Where the spiked acacias yield
A shadow, and the four
Earthen pots on a round well-wheel
Come up drippingly full and spill
Where the white horse runs his circle round
Drawing water for garden ground.
