A funny epigram by Nicarchus
Thank you for the original 💙
beautifully succinct in Greek, and really LOL
That put a smile on my face on a Monday morning - thank you! More please.
Poor Kharmos. With friends like that ...
Did Nicarchus' fragment "The Raven" inspire the famous Edgar Allan Poe poem? Wouldn't that be something!
Could it be that Poe had read it? Surely critics would have said it
In some quaint and curious volume of arcane poetic lore?
But though many may have thought It, it seems clear that no one bought it,
So perhaps we should delete it. Will some reader dare repeat it?
Quoth the raven “Nevermore!”
