handle is hein.journals/frdipm9 and id is 919 raw text is: ARTICLE The Deflowering of the Parthenon: A Legal and Moral Analysis on why the Elgin Marbles must be Returned to Greece Michael J. Reppas 11* Give back the Elgin marbles; let them lie Unsullied, pure beneath an Attic sky. The smoky fingers of our northern clime More ruin work than all the ancient time. How oft' the roar of the Pirean Sea Through column'd hall and dusky temple stealing Hath struck these marble ears, that now must flee The whirling hum of London, noonward reeling. AhI let them hear again the sounds that float Around Athena's shrine on morning's breeze - The lowing ox, the bell of clinking goat And drowsy drone offar Hymettus' breeze. Give back the marbles, let them vigil keep Where art still lies, o'er Pheidias' tomb, asleep.' * Associate, Law Offices of Sally N. Sawh, P.A, Bay Harbor, Fla.
