The great Oscar Wilde died on this day (Nov 30) in 1900:
“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

If you are into the whole story of Socrates wanting to bugger Alcibiades, you will like this poem by Classicist and poet Ruth Padel.
Padel is something like a poor cousin of Anne Carson.
