Palace of the Muse

August 31, 2007 · Leave a Comment

The palace, Louvre
Of Philippe Auguste,
Rest on the river Seine.
Near seven hundred years it took
To complete the “Grand Dessein.”

With past that’s rich in majesty
And art that pleased the kings.
Throughout the measures of history,
Her eternal beauty sings.

With love of time, concept divine,
And where artist’s, sublime, paid their dues,
Such wonders, grand and magical live
In the Palace of the Muse…
