It is the fusion of Hellenic beauty with Christian emotion which gives to Myers's St. Paul its peculiar charm, as in these often quoted and justly admired verses : Lo as some bard on isles of the Aegean Lovely and eager when the earth was young, Burning to hurl his heart into a paean, Praise of the hero from whose loins he sprung ; — He, I suppose, with such a care to carry, Wandered disconsolate and waited...
