ODDYSSEUS
Resourceful Oddysseus, why did you never age
In the twenty years of wandering, diving through the waves,
Your spirit never flagging, though weakened temporarily
By monstrous smashing waves, or the Sirens dangerous song,
Only to recover, recuperate from the abyss
Of shipwrecked sleep, exhaustion,
Upon bedraggled rocks?
