Song for Pythagoras Poem by Dannie Abse
Song for Pythagoras
White coat and purple coat
a sleeve from both he sews.
That white is always stained with blood,
that purple by the rose.
And phantom rose and blood most real
compose a hybrid style;
white coat and purple coat
few men can reconcile.
White coat and purple coat
can each be worn in turn
but in the white a man will freeze
and in the purple burn.
