| | [minstrels] The Body Reclining -- Grace Nichols |
 | | From: Suresh Ramasubramanian +++ Abraham Thomas [03/05/02 03:05 +0900]: > Guest poem submitted by Devyani Saltzman, > : > "The Body Reclining" > I sing the body reclining [...] This "I Sing" does sound a bit familiar to me, but I haven't seen it in all that many poems. |
 | | Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate, And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate, Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore. |
 | | Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore, And in the doubtful war, before he won The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town; His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine, And settled sure succession in his line, From whence the race of Alban fathers come, And the long glories of majestic Rome. |
