The Last Prophecy from Delphi

to the Julian the Apostate:

"Tell to the king that the carven hall is fallen in decay;
Apollo has no chapel left, no prophesying bay,
No talking spring. The stream is dry that had so much to say.
"

This was mentioned in passing during In Our Time's Delphi programme and I had to track it down.
