socrates death by jacques-louis david,the french painter,metropolitan museum of art,new york,new york
SOCRATES,NOT A SNAKE CHARMER
NOR A FIRE MONGER.
Glee was in the cup
Of hemlock
When he did want
To sip it away
In his hermetical jest.
He did not
Question the matter
In the mist of shadow
And in moments
He became
It.
His insights
Insisting
To start
Another lonely Athens
