minervasoloI know there are a few Latin scholars on my flist, thought that's not really anexcuse not to translate. Maybe some other time.
Pyrrha
quis multa gracilis te puer in orsa
perfusus liquidis urget odoribus
grato, Pyrrha, sub antro?
cui flavam religas comam
simplex munditiis? heu quotiens fidem
mutatosque deos fledit et aspera
nigris aequora ventis
emirabitur insolens,
qui nunc te fruitur credulus aurea,
qui semper vacuam, semper amabilem
sperat, nescius aurae
fallacis. Miseri, quibus
intemptata nites. me tabula sacer
votiva paries indicat uvida
suspendisse potenti
vestimenta maris deo.
Horace
"quod denique aeger at maestus ac similus excluso a vacuo limine recedo"
Pliny
nec tecum possum vivere nec sine te
Martial
I started packing today. I have more cookbooks than coursebooks. I'm taking seven notepads. It was amost ten, but I restrained myself. I feel I need all seven. Honest. I'm incredibly sleepy. Couldn't fall asleep at first, then my alarm went off at 7, then my mother brought me breakfast about an hour later. Thanks, but I'd rather have had the sleep. Tonight I'm taking some stuff to help me sleep. For now I'll just continue slogging through Tess of the D'Urbervilles in the vain hope I might be done with it before I go. Great book, but it does go on. Far too many notes, really.
