Apollo, Poetry, and Music by Aimé Millet 1869

          "Then there is this great marvel, of fame which never will perish—
          it is the Delian girls, handmaids of the great Far-shooter;
          these, whenever at first in a hymn they have lauded Apollo
          also Leto the Goddess and Artemis shooter of arrows,
          calling to memory tales of the men and the women of old times,
          straightway a hymn they sing, enchanting the nations of mankind.
          They know how to impersonate all men’s voices and all their
          musical vocalizations, and each would imagine himself as
          sounding the words—so suited to them is their beautiful singing."
