Camma Camma (To Ellen Terry) As one who poring on a Grecian urn1 Scans the fair shapes some Attic2 hand hath made, God with slim goddess, goodly man with maid, And for their beauty's sake is loth to turn And face the obvious day, must I not yearn3 For many a secret moon of indolent bliss4, When in midmost shrine5 of Artemis I see thee standing6, antique-limbed, and stern? And yet - methinks I'd rather see thee play That serpent of old Nile, whose witchery Made Emperors drunken, - come, great Egypt, shake Our stage with all thy mimic7 pageants8! Nay9, I am grown sick of unreal passions, make The world thine Actium, me thine Anthony!
