Poets have long been political - either overt or covert. Alexander Pope (1688-1744) English poet+satirist, expositor of the spirit of his age+a representative of the culture+politics of the Enlightenment. Wordsworth (1770-1850) was an overt supporter of the French Revolution. pic.twitter.com/3LmUIo0EA0

Cleopatra's tomb?...
Where is Cleopatra's tomb? Recent reports claim this tomb is at "Taposiris Magna," located about 31 miles (50 kilometers) west of Alexandria. Many scholars believe that Cleopatra was buried within Alexandria, possibly in an area that is now underwater. https://t.co/waQqkM41uA
