Partial Comfort

by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker

Whose love is given over-well
Shall look on Helen's face in hell,
Whilst those whose love is thin and wise
May view John Knox in Paradise.

Poems of the Day
  • Eugene Field
    Horace II, 3.
    by Eugene Field
    Be tranquil, Dellius, I pray; For though you pine your life away With dull complaining breath, Or speed with song and wine each day-- Still, still your doom is death.
