Leaned backward with a lipless grin.

Ovid - Art of Love |

I never take care, yet I've taken great pain
To acquire some goods, but have none by me:
Who's nice to me is one I hate: it's plain,
And who speaks truth deals with me most falsely:
He's my friend who can make me believe
A white swan is the blackest crow I've known:
Who thinks he's power to help me, does me harm:
Lies, truth, to me are all one under the sun:
I
remember
all, have the wisdom of a stone,
Welcomed gladly, and spurned by everyone.
