Cleopatra’s Chambers : Peeping Cupids (77-85)

77             The Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne,
78             Glowed on the marble, where the glass
79             Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines
80             From which a golden Cupidon peeped out
81             (Another hid his eyes behind his wing)
82             Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra
83             Reflecting light upon the table as
84             The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it,
85             From satin cases poured in rich profusion.

Dedication

To my own Vivienne, wherever you are:

... not to be found in my obituary
Or in memories draped
by the beneficent spider
Or under seals broken
by the lean solicitor
In my empty room
