"--Dictionary of art historians ; ".Often at such times I would hear a rushing in the highest branches, and turning very silently, see the outposts of a troop of monkeys peering down through the gleaming foliage. Then, if I moved neither head nor limb, others would come, and yet others, leaping from branch to branch and plunging down from higher to lower levels like divers cleaving a deep green sea; until at last some slightest involuntary movement of mine would put the whole host to flight, and greybeards, young warriors, camp followers and mothers with their children on their backs would go crashing from tree to tree, screaming and gibbering like the shades of Homer's sapless dead.

A well preserved copy of this scarce book. ** Summary from a modern printing: "Sirenica by W. Compton Leith is a visionary work that delves deep into the timeless allure of the Sirens, weaving a tapestry of myth, philosophy, and the eternal struggle between desire and reason. Set against the backdrop of ancient Greece, the book is a profound exploration of the human soul's restless pursuit of the unattainable. Leith's masterful prose brings to life the immortal song of the Sirensa melody that tempts heroes like Odysseus with promises of knowledge, adventure, and transcendence, only to lead them towards inevitable ruin or redemption. The text examines the duality of man's nature: the conflict between mundane contentment and the wild, inextinguishable yearning for the beyond. From the legendary voyages of Greek heroes to philosophical meditations on art, music, and the essence of human existence, Sirenica is both an intellectual journey and a poetic reflection on life's most profound questions. Leith challenges the reader to confront the eternal Siren callthe seductive promise of freedom from the bounds of reality, and the perilous consequences of heeding such a call. With references to classical mythology, art, and philosophy, Sirenica stands as a timeless testament to the power of imagination, ambition, and the inexorable pull of the unknown.".…
