Sapphic Fragment by Thomas Hardy
"Thou shalt be--Nothing."--Omar Khayyam. "Tombless, with no remembrance."--W. Shakespeare.
Dead shalt thou lie; and nought Be told of thee or thought, For thou hast plucked not of the Muses' tree: And even in Hades' halls Amidst thy fellow-thralls No friendly shade thy shade shall company!
