“ Leaps not more brightly forth from cliff to cliff Of high Parnassus, down the golden vale, Than the strong joy bursts gushing from my heart, And swells around me to a flood of bliss— Orestes!—oh, my brother! ”

(1840)
“ I see the blue hills of my native shore, The far blue hills again those cordial tones Before the captive bid them freshly rise For ever welcome! Oh, by this deep joy, Know the true son of Greece! ”
