    Sweet Desdemona

    Fair in, fair out thou do be
    As beauty has set 'tis grace upon thy temple
    Who dare disrepute thee
    And bid thy heart as sinful

    How the hate of a troublous snake
    Alongside thy admiring lover
    With fallacy a devil's tongue does make
    The moor unjust to not love her

    What many ailments a modest cloth does bring
    The very creed of a perpetual love
    Spanning the pits below as the legions do sing
    While the gates go closing above

    Never has there been such a tragedy to tell
    Since those untimely deaths in Verona
    Loved not wisely but to well
    Oh sweet Desdemona

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
