Edgar Allan Poe. 1809–1849
To Helen
HELEN, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicæan barks of yore,
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,
The weary, wayworn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam,
Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
Thy Naiad airs, have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece
And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche
How statue-like I see thee stand,
The agate lamp within thy hand!
Ah, Psyche, from the regions which
Are Holy Land!

Really think about that.Some of the greatest thinker came from Greece and minus electricty and plumbing the Romans were on par to us as a society today. What I studied was there was a moral decline in Rome. Something to think about eh Curious 2006 good queston
