Lugnasa                                                                     New (Autumn) Moon

Finished Philemon and Baucis this morning.  Now I have to decide where I want to go in the Metamorphoses next.  Not sure I want to start at the beginning just yet. When I do, I want to produce idiomatic English and English as beautiful as I can render it.  I’m not there yet.  Maybe I’ll do the Medea cycle, she’s pretty interesting.  I plan over this next week or two to start some Tacitus, too.  Just to keep myself guessing.

(Medea.  Sandys.)

It feels good to have gotten this far, but there is plenty more of the trail yet ahead.
