The wise men of old have sent most of their morality down the stream of time in the light skiff of apothegm and epigram
An epigram often flashes light into regions where reason shines but dimly
A ten-word epigram to be accurate needs a ten-page footnote, yet what it lacks in accuracy it makes up in nimbleness
He misses what is meant by epigram - who thinks it only frivolous flimflam
His whole life is an epigram smart, smooth and neatly penned, Plaited quite neat to catch applause, with a hang noose at the end
He would stab his best friend for the sake of writing an epigram on his tombstone.
