In Horologium

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley

INTER marmoreas Leonorae pendula colles
Fortunata mmis Machina dicit horas.
Quas manibus premit ilia duas insensa papillas
Cur mihi sit digito tangere, amata, nefas?

• Judith Viorst


Poems of the Day
    Dorothy Parker

    For A Sad Lady
    And let her loves, when she is dead, Write this above her bones: "No more she lives to give us bread Who asked her only stones."
