Or/nor

Good day,

How do you use or or nor in this sentence?

They see not my wounds or scars, nor the tears on my face.

Can nor be used here, or must we stick with or as in:

They see not my wounds or scars, or the tears on my face.


Which is right or better?


Thanks you,
Jimmy

Yes. The sentence is correct. And also poetic.

anonymousThey see not my wounds or scars, or the tears on my face.

This is OK too, but it's half poetic and half prosaic. To make it all prose, write

They don't see
