Antigone, the heroine. I am proud for you, With your high cheekbones And your straight spine And your low, ringing voice. I am proud for you, With tears in my eyes- "Antigone, the heroine," He said, holding an exquisite, strong-featured mask With delicate fingers, And I saw your face in its sharp lines, And I thought, "It's true. How saved I feel, Knowing you."
