This country is solemn and dreary, shadowed by heavy forests, dominated by the vast pile of the Taurus; streams of calciferous water spring from the rocks; great salt lakes remain on the highlands, and the valleys are heavy with silence. She was the daughter of a Greek father and a Phoenician mother.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"The Songs of Bilitis: The Life Of Bilitis","tradition":"Sacred Texts: The Classics","translated_text":null,"word_count":2072}
