The Founders
Romulus and Remus went up the hill.
The hill was mute and bare before them
Romulus said: “We’ll build a town here.”
“A town like sunshine”, Remus replied.
Romulus said: “The stars have willed it,
And we have regained our ancient honor.”
Remus replied: “What was before
We must forget, let us look forward”.
“Here’ll be a circus”, Romulus said,
“Here’ll be our house open to all.”
“But we should put closer to our dwelling
The burial vaults”, Remus replied.
