Thou juicy,
green, poisonous hemlock, throw thy shadow over Athens- not thou, olive tree of
fame! Seven cities contended for the honor of giving birth to Homer- that is to
say, they contended after his death! Let us look at him as he was in his
lifetime. He wanders on foot through the cities, and recites his verses for a
livelihood; the thought for the morrow turns his hair gray! He, the great seer,
is blind, and painfully pursues his way- the sharp thorn tears the mantle of the
king of poets.
His song yet lives, and through that alone live all the
heroes and gods of antiquity. One picture after another springs up from the
east, from the west, far removed from each other in time and place, and yet each
one forming a portion of the thorny road of honor, on which the thistle indeed
displays a flower, but only to adorn the grave. The camels pass along under the
palm trees; they are richly laden with indigo and other treasures of value, sent
by the ruler of the land to him whose songs are the delight of the people, the
fame of the country.
He whom envy and falsehood have driven into exile
has been found, and the caravan approaches the little town in which he has taken
refuge. A poor corpse is carried out of the town gate, and the funeral
procession causes the caravan to halt. The dead man is he whom they have been
sent to seek- Firdusi- who has wandered the Thorny road of honor even to the
end. The African, with blunt features, thick lips, and woolly hair, sits on the
marble steps of the palace in the capital of Portugal, and begs.
