Armid, the wise child of the healing god, questions the rulers’ silence as titanic forces and ancient spirits stir in grief and confusion. Through dialogue and remembered visions of heavenly thrones and immortal eyes, the poem explores longing for lost knowledge, shared sorrow, and a searching hope for meaning that becomes contemporary for later readers.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-house-of-the-titans/446662/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-house-of-the-titans/446662.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"LangkahRina","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Who are the main figures in “The House of the Titans”?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The poem centers on Nuada, the sky-born king, and Armid, the wise child of the healing god.

\nTO OSBORN BERGIN  \nDear Osborn,not only because you are my friend,But that you are one of those who learnedAn ancient speech for us,who rediscoveredMyths,once the scriptures of the northern world,I bring this poem,half dream,half vision,to you.I know,incredulous scholar,you will liftIronic eyebrows as you read the tale.But being poet yourself you will forgiveUnto the poet things unpardonableDone by a scholar.Yet I would defend  \nMy telling of the tale.These myths were bornOut of the spirit of man and drew their meaningFrom that unplumbed profundity.I thinkIn after ages they will speak to us  \nWith deeper voices and meanings.In one ageMen turn to the world about them and forgetTheir old descent from heaven.In another  \nThey storm the heavens with supplication.SomeHave found the glittering gates to open.IBeat many times upon the gates,but was notLike those who kept them mightily apartUntil they entered.Yet from fleeting voicesAnd visionary lights a meaning came  \nThat made my myth contemporary.And thoseWho read may find titans and king within  \nThemselves.And,if they ponder further,they may,Not in my story,but on the shining heightsOf their own spirit,hear those lordlier voices,The ageless shepherds of the starry flocksThey whose majestic meditation is  \nThe music of being;unto those who hear itSweeter than bells upon a darkening plainWhen the dim fleeces move unto the fold.  \n# The House of the Titans\n\nTHE HOUSE OF THE TITANS  \nThe day was dead,and in the titans'hall  \nThe darkness gathered like some monstrous beastProwling from pillar unto pillar:yetThe brazen dais and the golden throneMade a fierce twilight flickering with starsFar in the depths.And there the sky-born king,Nuada,now king of earth,sat motionless,A fading radiance round his regal brows,The sceptre of his waning rule unused,His heart darkened,because the god within,Slumbering or unremembering,was mute,And no more holy fires were litten there.Still as the king,and pale and beautiful,A slender shape of ivory and gold,  \nOne white hand on the throne,beside him stoodArmid,the wise child of the healing god.The king sat bowed:but she with solemn eyes  \nQuestioned the gloom where vast and lumbering shades,A titan brood,the first born of the earth,  \nCried with harsh voices and made an uproar thereIn the king's dun oblivious of the king.While Armid gazed upon them came a painThat stirred the spirit stillness of her eyes,  \nAnd darkened them with grief.Then came her words\"Tell me our story,god-descended king,  \nFor we have dwindled down,and from ourselvesHave passed away,and have forgotten all.\"And at her calling\"God-descended king\"His head sank lower as if the glorious wordsHad crowned his brow with a too burning flameOr mocked him with vain praise.He answered not,For memory to the sky-born king was butThe mocking shadow of past magnificence,Of starry dynasties slow-fading out,  \nThe sorrow that bound him to the lord of lightHe was,ere he had sunken in red clay  \nHis deity.The immortal phantom had not yetRevealed to him the gentler face it wears,The tender shadow of long vanquished painAnd brightening wisdom,unto him who nears  \nThe House of the Titans  \nThe Land of Promise,who,in the eve of time,Can look upon his image at the dawnAnd falter not.And as King Nuada satWith closed eyes he saw the ancient heavens,The thrones of awe,the rainbow shining roundThe ever-living in their ageless youth,A","cbCaihMYbPz11oAh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihMYbPz11oAh","pdf",3039251,"English","# Contents\n## To Osborn Bergen\n## The House
