"Thence​ we sailed sadly on, glad to have escaped death, though we had lost our comrades, and came to the Aeaean island, where Circe lives
/.../
When the morning of the third day came I took my spear and my sword, and went away from the ship to reconnoiter,​ and see if I could discover signs of human handiwork, or hear the sound of voices. Climbing to the top of a high look-out I espied the smoke of Circe's house rising upwards amid a dense forest of trees, and when I saw this I doubted whether, having seen the smoke, I would not go on at once and find out more."

Od X

"Charm thou, Ideal,
but do not look into my heart:
the hell is there"
