If all you need to ask, "Is beauty truth?" It isn't much you need to know on earth. It's less than what appraisers say it's worth, This jar with frieze depicting frozen youth. Curators and collectors both agree If forged or stolen, sold dishonestly Museum art debased on pedestals Makes hiding art seem safely tenable. It may be better beauty be destroyed. A little...

the roaring tides rolled in anger sat beside me nothing else as I began to slowly slip into my self consciousness consoling my inner most thoughts catering to a rather chafe metaphor beseeching counsel embracing righteousness anxiously covenanting bitterness wildly tamed emotions creating solitude a vague rapture mastered my minds eye withering madness sunk into a sultry need...

Distant cypress against indigo sky Canvas holds image that will never die It hangs in gallery forever...

I gaze in awe at this beautiful setting; The Greek isle of Samos I won’t soon be forgetting. The sun shines bright in the azure blue sky while white puffy clouds slowly drift by. The calm Aegean Sea is an aqua blue; the colorful fishing boats, they number two. The houses on the hillside with terra-cotta colored roofs; Off in the distance...

To Homerus, the Grecian Master
(for: Homer, the Greek Master) Now, do you sit on these Grecian rubbles, O, desert god of old Greek ruins! Didst thou across this earth match O, Homerus! the gods’ bright eye, On whom many a mad mortal dares to spit? Nature is joyed of your simple lute Isn’t that good which you spoke? Those gods in human passions, Tho’ matching superhumanly, Did breed real...

laced with a goldensilver fleece, lamented laboured listlessly luxurious augmented segmented and critically curious... I'd save penchant face for solving this human's race only to relieve said diatribe and give you my release...
