"I think it did amaze the Cyclades
To see me writing verses on the seas."

--1672 Ovid, IX.

"Real Roman Colosseum shit. ...And this helped me understand how the election happened."

"Glittering-throned, undying Aphrodite,
Wile-weaving daughter of high Zeus, I pray thee,
Tame not my soul with heavy woe, dread mistress,
   Nay, nor with anguish !

But hither come, if ever erst of old time
Thou didst incline, and listenedst to my crying,
And from thy father's palace down descending,
   Camest with golden

Chariot yoked: thee fair swift-flying sparrows
Over dark earth with multitudinous fluttering,
Pinion on pinion, through middle ether
   Down from heaven hurried."

--Symonds's Sappho via

"The literal end of the world does not excuse you from doing the best you can."
