The voice of ancient India from her EastAppeared to call him, echoing in the West, And proffer wealth of ivory, spices, goldAnd the great jewel-hoards of cities old, Even as the thought increasedFlame-like, the heart within the hero's breastGrew as a gods, its wingsUnfurled like sails to bear him forth to seek strange things. What though he never guessed a new world layBeyond the shadowy sea; but, rather, soughtA city golden-walled (as legends tell)Where fountains of rose-attar leapt and fell, The opulent CathayWhose pinnacles with precious stones were wrought, And where the great MogulLorded a realm, antique, fantastic, wonderful.
