Darwin, in his Botanic Garden, says, "So to the sacred Sun in Memnon's fane Spontaneous concords choired the matin strain; Touched by his orient beam responsive rings The living lyre and vibrates all its strings; Accordant aisles the tender tones prolong, And holy echoes swell the adoring song." ACIS AND GALATEA Scylla was a fair virgin of Sicily, a favorite of the Sea-Nymphs.

She had turned and looked down, as she always did when human complexities made her seek reassurance as to the worth of this world, on the shiny mud-flats, blue-veined with the running tides, and green marshes where the redshanks choired.

With quiet and incurious eye I noted many a wondrous thing,-- Seas of clear glass, and singing streams, In that high pageantry of dreams; Cities of sard and chrysoprase Where choired Hosannas never cease; Valhallas of celestial frays, And lotus-pools of endless peace; But still the faces gaped and cried-- “Give us the dream for which we died!” At length my quiet heart was stirred, Hearing them cry so long in vain.
