In the Great God's Hair, by F. W. Bain, [1905], at sacred-texts.com
Note. The legend below the Vignette, representing the Goddess of Beauty, is a beautiful alliterative compound alluding to her origin from the sea. The alliteration evaporates in the process of translation: but the meaning is: Hail to her whose being is the essence of the tumbling ocean waves, all love, emotion, agitation and broken curves!
