Epigram To, And For, The Poet, Statius
[Publis Papinius Statius, 1st century A. D.]
Statius, you knew that some events can be
emotive . . . even momentarily . . .
evocative, inspiring poetry
(even if part of private history):
and therein is the splendored mystery.
Time's trivial and subtle perfidy
cannot remove them from your artistry.
