The Right Way to Live: Plato's Republic for Catholic Students
















by Richard Geraghty
is what I'm waiting on from
Amazon.

I've seen Dr. Geraghty on EWTN's very
interesting shorts: Moral Philosophy 101,
and am looking forward to reading his - and
Plato's - work.

M. LeClerc requested an easily-read
plain text type, available here. (link)

Although I had another request to

retain the pink version...


The White Rose Knighted


Perfervia was the Queen


.........who knighted a white rose


.............................dressed in a garland


.....................................of pear garden green




and rose became man


........who crossed morphine and milk


.......,,,,,,,.......fawn drank the potion


..................................that made fawn dream a dryad


.................................................whose garment was silk




and the silk nymph rambled


............and robbed monkeys and men


.........................till a tear tossed a turn-key


...........................................that opened a gaol. then




the bottom of heaven


...........dropped from the skies


..............................and the ear descent light




blinded nymph's eyes


.....nymph fell through a hole


..........in Swiss fromage skies


............and dropped to a place where breath whispered
flames


....................................................flicker and die
