Thick wool is woven with eternity

In classic arts.  The woof is plain facts, true.

The timelessness inspires fraternity

In opposites.  The warp includes the view

Of things from deities.  When frankness meets

Immortal thoughts in hymn-like forms, the pair

Produces perfect art.  Resulting feats

Are tragedy and odes, and curled hair

On marble sculptures. These persist.  They live

Forever even though they have no life.

These elements are strict.  They must forgive

No rulelessness.  They are an honest wife.

..When freedom turns to license, damage flares.

….The best aspire to act as classic heirs.
