The Odyssey, Calypso's Island
Seven years on a wooded island, a raft built in four days, a long swim, and a girl doing the washing at a river mouth.
Retold for sleep from The Odyssey by Homer, from a public-domain English translation long out of copyright. The story is Homer's; every sentence here is our own.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
