Forehead without scalp, dry shell without yolk of eye,
composition of a tongueless mouth,
the weak stockade of mind abandoned to no grave,
tears in the way of passers-by,
there you lie by a stump beside the path, to show
the thrifty to what end they save.
– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Alistair Elliot
