Celadus, master of the Thracian style, is
gorgeous in beauty---of Ethiopia
and Thrace: it vivifies even his waist-length
dreadlocks. When has such beauty ever adorned
Pompeii's arena?
But hacking men apart for our applause means
less to Celadus than his younger boyfriend's
embrace (especially nude): lithe, slender, long
hair like gold silk; enthralled by Greek poetry---
Celadus' boyfriend.
