Annotation for an Epitaph

A fairer person lost not heaven. —Paradise LostThese are the sins for which they cast out angels, The bagatelles by which the lovely fall: A hand that disappoints, an eye dissembling— These and a few besides: you had them all.Beneath…

Versailles

(Petit Trianon) Merely the landscape of a vanished whim,An artifice that lasts beyond the wish:The grotto by the pond, the gulping fishThat round and round pretended islands swim,The creamery abandoned to its doves,The empty shrine the guidebooks say is love’s.…
