Richard Wilbur
from “A Baroque Wall-Fountain in the Villa Sciarra”
…What of those fauns in their bizarre,
Spangled, and plunging house?
They are at rest in fulness of desire
For what is given, they do not tire
Of the smart of the sun, the pleasant water-douse
And riddled pool below,
Reproving our disgust and our ennui
With humble insatiety….
— Richard Wilbur
