all this useless beauty

By jasonjklewis

"What will survive of us is love".

Time has transfigured them into
Untruth. The stone fidelity
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love.

An Arundel Tomb - Philip Larkin
