From the Greek. <br /> <br />Eagle! why soarest thou above that tomb? <br />To what sublime and star-ypaven home <br />Floatest thou?-- <br />I am the image of swift Plato’s spirit, <br />Ascending heaven; Athens doth inherit <br />His corpse below.<br /><br />Percy Bysshe Shelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epigram-iii-spirit-of-plato/
