richard mitchley - thomas hardy - rome - building a new street, april 1887 lyrics
Loading...
these numbered cliffs and gnarls of masonry
outskeleton time’s central city, rome;
whereof each arch, entablature, and dome
lies bare in all its gaunt anatomy
and cracking frieze and rotten metope
express, as though they were an open tome
top+lined with caustic monitory gnome;
“dunces, learn here to spell humanity!”
and yet within these ruins’ very shade
the singing workmen shape and set and join
their frail new mansion’s stuccoed cove and quoin
with no apparent sense that years abrade
though each rent wall their feeble works invade
once shamed all such in power of pier and groin
