Fashion finds no favor in your heart, Intimidated by a classic grace. For life, to be worth living, is an art That carries all its meaning in its face, Yielding subtleties too fine to trace. There is a definition to your soul, Hard-derived but easily applied, Remnant of a once-resplendent whole Ebbed long ago with some receding tide, Each glory left behind a well-thumbed guide.
