Actaeon ungathered‏

A field of Actaeon, and who is to gather him? A hunter a hart, what then -- what now -- is a hound? Gather me to you, what hound soever -- what even so soever -- the all of Actaeon is yours, I deny your fellows even the least. You, also, deny your fellows even the least, and we are ours.


Actaeon restored‏

I feel she may push her way through the pack and deal with me kindly. For the hounds, remorse, suitable, suitable; for Actaeon, restoration. A trial as any other, less severe than others, a trial, a warning, instruction, gift. Actaeon restored, and imagine a hunter mightier, unimaginable, unimaginable.


Of Fell Hounds ‏

The foremost jumps Actaeon, and what hound more fell, unless that hound were the brach of the fount, snappish yet, and afar.


The Gargaphie Nymphs‏

A nymph is unknown to Phrensy, and who made known to many a nymph the view, persistent as pulse, of a fawn swathed in porphyry? A fox is known to Phrensy, a fox, a hound, a queen is known to Phrensy till she cries out, what fawn has known porphyry, a queen, a hound, a fox are known to Phrensy, and from whom the view of porphyry to many a nymph, when a nymph is unknown to Phrensy?
