He knew that her cry to peneus her father had been answered, yet he said, "Since thou canst not be my bride, at least thou shalt be my tree; my hair, my lyre, my quiver shall have thee always, oh laurel tree of the Immortals!"
"A Book of Myths"
Jean Lang
It haunts the vale where peneus strong Pours his incessant stream along, While craggy ridge and mountain bare Cut keenly through the liquid air, And, in their own pure tints arrayed, Scorn earth's green robes which change and fade, And stand in beauty undecayed, Guards of the bold and free.
"Callista"
John Henry Cardinal Newman
The Apsus, making its way between vast and lofty mountains which all but meet above a single deep ravine in the midst, is not unlike the river peneus, in the rapidity of its current, and in its general appearance.
"Plutarch-Lives-of-the-noble-Grecians-and-Romans"
Clough, Arthur Hugh
