Getting it backwards


It is their climate,
not their mind, that
men change when they
rush across the sea.








Yet, when climates
are our emigrants,
we watch men rush-
Who can say, which
is a sorrier sight?

  1. An observation true and to the point, a question both poignant and pitiful.

    1. I'd rather not have observed it, but I feel the chance to reflect on Horace can sustain morale. Thank you for your visit.
