A poem by Francis Orray Ticknor
“In one room of this deserted mansion we came upon an old harpsichord
with a single unbroken string. Evoking the last sound from it, we extracted
the key, which you will find herewith.” – Letter from the Old Dominion

You are beautiful and faded
Like an old opera tune
Played upon a harpsichord;
Or like the sun-flooded silks
Of an eighteenth-century boudoir.
In your eyes
Smoulder the fallen roses of outlived minutes,
