A ''xenia'' epigram is an epigram attached to a gift, sometimes as represented in a ''xenia'' mosaic. Originally found in Latin literature, it was revived in the nineteenth century. An example: ==With a Mosaic "Forget me not"== :Accept and wear this constant flower, ::Thus copied out by art. :It blooms in Nature but its hour,-- ::For ever in the heart. :Affections into habits grown,-- ::Lives fastened in one lot,-- :The flower has strengthened into stone ::We name "Forget me not." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Xenia epigram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
