Fragments

[Lady in Blue (Louvre)]

I love magnificence. Love, to me,
is the finest thing under the sun
I suppose that’s why
I wasn’t given beauty

& why the friends I hang out for
backbite me in return

[Edward, Lord Leighton: "Greek girls playing at ball"]

Dying is bad. The gods
would die like us
if it were fun

[Greek Picture Gallery]

The Moon's set
ditto the Pleiades
it’s midnight
I’m alone
