Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Epitaph"

[sandoz_iscariot]

Epitaph

Grieve not for happy Claudius, he is dead;
And empty is his skull.
Pity no longer, arm-in-arm with Dread,
Walks in that polished hall.

Joy, too, is fled.
But no man can have all.

This would make a gorgeous card superimposed on a picture of a skull.

Yes, perfect.
