INVOCATION My soul is wrought to sing of forms transformed to bodies new and strange! Immortal Gods inspire my heart, for ye have changed yourselves and all things you have changed! Oh lead my song in smooth and measured strains, from olden days when earth began to this completed time! Ovid. Metamorphoses. Brookes More. Boston. Cornhill Publishing Co. 1922.
