“The god looked out upon the troubled deep
Waked into tumult from its placid sleep”
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–1894) Poet, essayist, physician
"Translation From The Æneid, Book I" written while at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts (c. 1824).
Context: The god looked out upon the troubled deep
Waked into tumult from its placid sleep;
The flame of anger kindles in his eye
As the wild waves ascend the lowering sky;
He lifts his head above their awful height
And to the distant fleet directs his sight.
John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974) American poet
"Janet Waking", line 25, from Two Gentlemen in Bonds (1927).
