Sonnet 2 Parnassian Forms Poem by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares

I belong to the present century
Although I think it is soon to forget
And give the classic mind an injury
By neglecting fine forms without regret.

Living under impressions of this age
It is hard for many to realize
Beauty does not always wear with usage
And there is room enough to fantasize.

Many a way the fashion make provoke
Trying to go along with our new world
But it is also quite fair to evoke
Ancient rhythms always at the treshold.

They will help us one day to find our way
If lost in space we have dreams of today.
