Passage of the day

His watchers knew the wandering flame, nor hid Their welcome, burning higher than was bid.
Aeschylus · Agamemnon Agamemnon. Clytemnestra is still tracing the beacon route, now at Mount Cithaeron between Attica and Boeotia, where the watchers built their answering fire higher than their orders required. Translated by Gilbert Murray.
