"Island of Sleep" (Aug 1920) by Michael Llewelyn Davies Island of sleep, where wreathd Time delays, haven of things

remote, indulgent, free, Thou whose encircling mists in autumn days veiled the intruder on thy secrecy; he there beheld bright flowers in a dream join with tall trees to cheat the Cyprian, and heard in murmurs of a woodland stream Arcadian measures of resurgent Pan; Yet will not touch again thy perfumed shore and mount the coloured slope beneath the trees or there release his senses ever more to tread the foot-prints of old deities, so thou do not send echoes to remind of those sweet pipes, and charm him from his kind.
