"My rival image will be then thought blessed
And laugh at me as dispossesed
But, thou, who (if I know thee right)
I'th' substance does not much delight
Wilt rather send again for me
Who then shall but my picture's picture be."

- Abraham Cowley

Found poetry that i really loved with such a melancholy, brutal, and yet...beautiful message.
