kings bore the same name Asterion or Asterios (e. g. Bacchylides; frag. 47 and Diodorus IV, 60).
(5) The Centaur.
There is a fragment of a very early Greek pot showing two roughly drawn centaurs with long thin legs, one of the centaurs touching with his hand a tree which has long leaves and what seems to be a round fruit. Above the centaurs, but apparently separate from the tree, a bird perches on a twig. (Salzmann Necropole de Camires, Plate XXXIX.)
(6) Sagitta.
"About the third century B. C., we find Apollo is closely linked with Sagitta." I find in a book upon Astrology published this year "Sagittarius. The symbol is an arrow shot into the unknown. It is a Sign of Initiation and Re-birth." (A Student's Text-book of Astrology by Vivian E. Robson, page 178.)
THE LINES OF HER WARY BODY
The lines of her wary body lure the eye
Out of his head, insinuate the way
From breast to rounder breast and hip to thigh,
A symmetry of curve and wisdom gay
With melody of movement improvised
To make occasion seem a mystery
And mystery a night to be surprised,
Annihilated, white with history:
His thoughts with rain begin to swell, and they
Gather momentum in loins which fiercely ply
The brooding storms that rage to burst and slay
The covert of the labyrinth, the cry
Of each proud curve pierced silently and straight,
Till love clear cool of passion and of hate!
