THE GREAT STONE FACE
When I was a young film buff
going to revival cinemas,
I was struck by how
his appearances in "Limelight"
and "Sunset Boulevard"
affected the audiences--
first, a collective gasp,
followed by a burst of applause
And I thought of the great
marble & granite constructions
of antiquity:
how at their completion
they inspired awe
but only through erosion
did they achieve
grandeur
