T-minus six hours until I’m strapped up and spanked by the hallowed halls of the Unseen University. I have made a few surprising discoveries snooping along the trail of ancient Empire. If I did not love the subject matter so much, I would likely have buckled under the strain. Half of it is written, only half to go now. All the pieces are in place, I just need to get it down on paper before sending this bad boy off. Crickey, it is a tough slog.
In the words of one poet, “You think it’s gonna be easy!” and it ain’t.Pythagorean metempsychosis of the precessional Great Year, don’t fail me now. I stumbled across a lovely quote from Virgil today:
excudent allii spirantia mollius aera (credo equidem), vivos ducent de marmore vultus, orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus describent radio et surgentia sidera dicent. - Aeneid, iv, 857-853.
