Greek Antiquities: First Floor

Greek Antiquities: First Floor by Lauris Edmond ' Little sculptured animals, young deer still stiffy running, still with bright and frightened eyes, my fingers touch the tiny perforations that mark the spots upon your coats of clay and find them rough and hard. Will any dream of mine so run, wakeful through more than twenty centuries? Lauris Edmond (1924-2000) New Zealand Reprinted by permission of OUP (New Zealand) from Selected Poems 1984 Commonwealth Poems on the Underground
