For whom now will you comb your hair
    in lover's fashion?
For whose soft skin smooth your hands?
    Why edge that cloak
with sea-crimson when Rhodope
    has gone? Gone:
cheated of Rhodope, my eyes
    gaze with blank
indifference at lucid day
    dawning in gold.

– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Andrew Miller
