Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510)
Cupid in Primavera (1480), The Uffizi, Florence



Alliterations Attract Attention II

Writers wrap words
Singers sing songs—
Angel aims arrow
Beatrice blesses blossoms

Children chanting carols
Dancing delights desires
Enlightenment eases everything
Federico Fellini film-making

Golden gate glory
Hero honors harmony
Illumine inner insights
Jack Jill journeys

Keys keep knocking
Lucky lofty living
Music moves mystery
Nice noble Nausicaa

Ocean offers oracle
Plato presents philosophy
Quality quietens quantity
Rainbow reflects radiance

Save sacred scriptures
Think timeless truth
Understand unique unity
Value Vermeer's visions

Weeping willow waltz
Xavier x'ing xylem
Yoda yodels yes
Zig zag zest
