Life Imitates Art

Honeyed Muse swaggers,

Eyes crave greatest wish,

It leads, we follow….

 

      

 

 

“For if you grant admission to the Honeyed Muse in lyric or epic, pleasure and pain will be the lords of your city instead of law Plato (Republic 607  a).

Corwin’s Triumph

Norman Corwin prays,[1]

His plea no longer heard,

But sung in glory.

Norman Lewis Corwin (1910 – 2011)
