Fall Samhain Moon
more Lucretius
1. You who have born Aeneas, pleasure of man and god,
2. Bountiful Venus, gliding smoothly underneath the mark of heaven,
3. How thou dost enliven the ship-bearing sea and the fruitful earth
4. Everything since transformed into a living being
5 Is conceived through thou and (we?) behold the light of life rising.
6. The winds take flight with thou, goddess, with thou, with thou the clouds of heaven (flee)
7. And come suitably for you, for thou the skillful earth
8. Causes to spring forth delightful flowers, the calm sea smiles upon thou
9. And quieted heaven shines (forth) diffuse light.
(Titian’s Venus)
