    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this as a symbol of freedom from the binds that love and beauty holds over so many people today. I named it Aphrodite after the Greek goddess of love and beauty, and used some parts of the myth of Aphrodite in the poem; such as the girdle, birth in foam, the Golden Apple and her symbol of the Pink Rose.

    Aphrodite

     I break free of thee
    Beauty and Love
    Remove thy girdle
    From around my mind
    Daughter born of foam and sea
    Remove thy spell from me
    The apple that declares you fair
    Is not impressive to me
    Your pink rose is as death to me  
    For beauty is demise to me.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
