Andromeda and Other Poems

Set against a vivid Mediterranean backdrop, the narrative unfolds with striking imagery of a serene yet oppressive landscape. The protagonist lies among myrtles on a cliff, surrounded by the stillness of the air and the heat of the noon sun, while the sea lies below. The scene is infused with a sense of languor, as nature's elements blend into a dreamlike state. The mention of Atho's Peak and the cicale adds layers of beauty and tranquility, evoking themes of isolation and the interplay between nature and human emotion.
