Homer's Seeing-Eye Dog (follow link to e-Text)

by William Matthews (1942-1997)

It is Argos who speaks, about Odysseus. The poem begins...

". . .Most of the time he worked, a sort of sleep
with a purpose, so far as I could tell.
How he got from the dark of sleep
to the dark of waking up I'll never know . . . "
