Carp not the day, but friends, toilmen, bumpkins See me praise the dance Cheer me
kiss the past good-bye,
consume the meats of glory
while salad days are over,
green envy of youth begins,
and I say unto you:
lend me your eyes to spy;
I have come to bury caesar salad
not to praise tyrants as Caesar
fishy and salty like an anchovy
on the graves of the grave,
and praise the praise
brought to ceremonials
and I shall be cheered,
for no one can tell me
what the sound is
of one tear clapping
in a thunder kiss
applauding the future
—- Douglas Gilbert
(Henry Le Châtelier)
