Omnia Vincit Amor

Abe Learning Things

“Love conquers all; let us, too, yield to Love!” — Virgil, Eclogue X

Let us too, then, yield to Love
Heart within and God above
And push past mind-made dams
The barrage what clog-jams

Let that amor river flow
Heedless nor headless go
Rather, lucid with force
Versed in its own prose

Age, beauty, burdens cast
Asunder cast, and fast
Rid of self-ridicule
Asunder cast faux jewels

Embrace, embrace in its grace
Hold that ether in this vase
Hold on tight and hold on long
Blow that flute; sing that song

Look her in her eyes and kiss
Clasp her cheeks with bliss
Part bangs in the mid; plant lips
Grasp hands; twine fingertips

Scoop her tears, alleve her fears
Bear what leers and what jeers
Stand strong-armed, thick-skinned
Brave storm thunder, desert wind

Brave your own thoughts and past
Brave what horrors eyed-aghast
Brave first what you’d brave last

Only his connections with some high-ranking officials save him from being stood in front of a wall and shot. Instead, after declaring him to be a “Former Person” , the Committee sentence the count to imprisonment in Moscow’s Hotel Metropol. It’s the city’s foremost hotel, an Art Deco edifice place frequented by the rich and famous, bureaucrats and foreign visitors. As befitting his status and…
