About The Rise Of Mankind

Shared
Hellenistic-Roman assurances.
I was
A classicist before I
Became a
Transcendentalist or
Modernist. Once all the
Men wept at
The ashes
Of Rome as Irish monks
Playfully set
About
Resurrecting
Mankind.

He set about, starting with Jefferson. Hamilton or Paine,
Madison and all
Their Lockean notions
While Scholars translated
Virgil's Aeneid and
The necromancers set the world
It Years. Traversing the
Aqueducts, oft-
Taken roadways, we
Reflect on

Classicism

All of the Lost and the Romantics
Wander the Temple halls and in the
Hinges of History
Latin and
Irishmen brought us
A
World.
