Appius Claudius
no shepherd awaits outstretched
with the earth below and above the...
and above, the marble air... and yes, thy violets...
cease your ascent,
Appius Claudius,
cries Chimaeras Verser,
& your demise
will not go undeplored
cease, Appius
Claudius
Crassus,
and stand (as so stood wolf's tender you: lamb, rose)
and await the, if not eternal end, then a plentiful end of VIRGINIA
Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve:
even the title is prescriptive
("Appius Claudius Prevented From Ascension By 160 Virginias")
and raises the question "how many years for each Virginia, and
do the Virginias have writing between them, and ---
is Appius Claudius ascending, now?" :
