Imbolc New (Bloodroot) Moon
Latin. I’ve found a method that works for me right now and I want to write it down before I lose it. First, translate one sentence a day. Keep going until several verses have been finished, perhaps two or three days before a session with Greg. Then, go back and review, one sentence at a time, the work that has been done.
In that review nail down the whys of the translation and identify specific questions, i.e. type of subjunctive clause, that extra word left over.
In general I’ve discovered that the faster I want the process to go, the more anxious I get and the less attention I pay to the details. Yet, in Latin, the devil is truly in the details. A great spiritual and intellectual exercise for me, the paying close attention demanded by my buddy Ovid.
