R.d. I really like " et quid amabo nisi quod aenigma est?" too. It figures. The poem with the least votes speaks volumes to me.

Andrew Dawn, "et quid amabo nisi quod aenigma est" means "and what shall I love if not the enigma." It's the title of a George Chirico self portrait from 1911. It's the 7th paiting down on this page:

Hope that helps!

Maggie Thank you all - I am honored. The poem, an ekphrastic, was based on the de Chirico painting "Melancholy and Mystery of a Street."
