A segue from Laocoon

 

In my last post I quoted Laocoon from Virgil, and it gives me the opportunity of linking to one of my favourite Rudyard Kipling poems: Et Dona Ferentes.

When I read it as a child, I was incredibly smitten with the image of three-castored grand pianos cantering away… and  a little smitten with the rest of the poem as well.
