Adam did the same to Eve,—
Aimer, aimer; c’est à vivre.
Theodore Tilton.
ON AN INTAGLIO HEAD OF MINERVA
THE cunning hand that carved this face,
A little helmeted Minerva—
The hand, I say, ere Phidias wrought,
Had lost its subtle skill and fervour.
Who was he? Was he glad or sad?
Who knew to carve in such a fashion?
