Gebir is a narrative poem written by Walter Savage Landor. The poem tells the story of Gebir, a king who rules over a remote land. Gebir is a solitary figure who is haunted by the memory of his lost love, the beautiful Alciphron. The poem follows Gebir as he searches for meaning and purpose in his life, and as he struggles to come to terms with his own mortality. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters, including a hermit, a sorceress, and a group of bandits. Through these encounters, Gebir learns about the power of love, the importance of friendship, and the value of self-reflection. The poem is filled with vivid imagery and rich symbolism, and it is considered to be one of Landor's most important works.The king's lone road, his visit, his return, Were not unknown to Dalica, nor long The wondrous tale from royal ears delayed. When the young queen had heard who taught the rites Her mind was shaken, and what first she asked Was, whether the sea-maids were very fair, And was it true that even gods were moved By female charms beneath the waves profound.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
