θεός νύ τις ἦ βροτός ἐσσι;
I like Robin Williamson's "Fool's Song (Columbine)," but I really wish he had included the verses Hope Mirrlees wrote for Lud-in-the-Mist (1926).
"There are windfalls of dreams, there's a wolf in the stars,
And Life is a nymph who will never be thine,
With lily, germander, and sops in wine.
With sweet-brier,
And bon-fire,
And strawberry-wire,
And columbine."
My poem "Leukothea's Odyssey 6" has been accepted by Goblin Fruit.

Thanks!
(John C. Wright is entirely responsible for this poem's existence; I am wondering if it would be needlessly cruel to let him know when it goes online.)
