Artist: Angelica Kauffmann

Poet’s Epitaph
( on seeing Kauffmann’s Virgil )

In youth the dream is so alive and sweet
Beauty kisses the eyes with every glance
Choices of the heart seek avenues meet
To extraordinary desired chance
Where Love passion smiles on a haloed moon
Breathless sighs eclipse the wills demure gaze
As the river runs so runs maiden soon
And life floods spirit overflowing days
Time becomes a pulsing landscape abyss
Wooed but never stilled as though in a calm
Eager to feel the rush of thoughtlessness
And trembling, touch plush pleasures deepest psalm
Perchance Autumn enters with peace to give
Till Winter grips the soul that cannot live

Yo dear Bloodline,

This modern poem works fairly well.

This is refined poetry, dear Bloodline. I savored every word.

Yes you were beautifully inspired by that incredibly intense picture.

A soft touch of melancholy in the end.

Love,
Margherita
