Poems about Art Vs Time

The Versery gathers 1 poem that take up the theme of art vs time by a single poet, spanning the year 1817. Each entry below links to the full text (or, for in-copyright work, a fair-use excerpt with a link to an authoritative source), along with a short curator's note placing the poem in context.

Theme pages are one of several ways to move through the collection. Poets rarely write to a single subject — most of the work below sits at the intersection of art vs time and several related ideas at once. The list of related themes further down on this page is built from co-occurrence: if a poem about art vs time also takes up another theme, that theme rises in the ranking. Following those links is a good way to discover poems you might otherwise not have found.
