Chorus of the Eumenides:
With useless endeavour
Forever, forever,
Is Sisyphus rolling
His stone up the mountain!

The Masque of Pandora and Other Poems (1875)

And dimly seen, a tangled mass
Of Walls and woods of light and shade
Stands beckoning up the Stelvio pass
Varenna, with its white cascade.
I ask myself, Is this a dream?
Will it all vanish into air?
Is there a land of such supreme
And perfect beauty anywhere!

The Masque of Pandora and Other Poems (1875)
