"Men turn, and see the stars"

The Odyssey's epigram, which was written by A. Lang, is so sublime.

Excerpt:

MEN TURN, AND SEE THE STARS, AND FEEL THE FREE        10
    SHRILL WIND BEYOND THE CLOSE OF HEAVY FLOWERS     AND THROUGH THE MUSIC OF THE LANGUID HOURS, THEY HEAR LIKE OCEAN ON A WESTERN BEACH   THE SURGE AND THUNDER OF THE ODYSSEY.
