A poem by George Parsons Lathrop printed in the Atlantic Monthly, December 1873. It imagines Helen of Troy weaving a purple mantle on an upright loom, working scenes of the Trojan War into the cloth with her own sorrow and remorse. The loom serves as poetic imagery; there is no technical weaving content.
