On great Olympus, a feast of joy! The gods divide the earth; The light-bestower is away; Forgotten he will be. And the light-giver came and nodded To the blue sea; and lo, The sea was rent with fruitful heave! And the Sun's island rose With a thousand beauties crowned; And makers lived upon the island, Beings above all men; And they made statues masterful, All beautiful like gods And living as immortals live!
