Aristotle with a Bust of Homer The Rembrandt on my Greek textbook Reminds me why I learn the case. Anachronistic image of The Aristotle must be me. A shadow of obscurity Enveloped shoulders of him here. It has laid him upon burden Which he bears with the pride and airs. The light falls on the point of touch Between his hand and Homer's bust. The gestur's patronising, but A section of light on his skull. The points of light, they tied in each. In gold of Modern Time, he's forced Above. The gesture is an act. His hand is solemn forgery. The gaze is filled with meekness and Compassion. I feel like Burne-Jones: Abandoned in prim and decent.
