Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lazarus and Other Poems
Leaving that crowd, and threading on his way Through street and lane, he passed unheeding by The halls of senates and the shrines of gods, And onward journeyed to the suburb poor And dark and squalid, where Massilian Jews Were fain to dwell. And coming there, he asked For one named Eleazar.' For a while He found him not: they had not heard the name N o Jew so called had traded in their mart, Or worshipped in their synagogue. At last Some traces met his search. In dreary huts, Where hunger ever haunted, they could tell Of bread that came from him, of angel words From lips of sisters who, in constant love, Had shared his home and helped him in his age And now they both were gone, and he was left.
