Ten million stones recall <br /> Ten thousand Souls whose anguished cries <br /> Of victory arose from this arena. <br /> For such contempt that man had shown <br /> He trod the path of pain <br /> surmounting human weakness yet again. <br /> He led the way through just such vales <br /> And with two thousand years now gone <br /> We dwell upon such Grace.<br /><br />Brian Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-colosseum-rome/
