#Couplet

[lionofchaeronea]

King Zeus, give us fine things whether we pray for them or not; Keep from us woes, even if we ask them. Ζεῦ βασιλεῦ, τὰ μὲν ἐσθλὰ καὶ εὐχομένοις καὶ ἀνεύκτοις ἄμμι δίδου: τὰ δὲ λυγρὰ καὶ εὐχομένων ἀπερύκοις. -Anth. Pal. 10.108 ~ [Plato], Alcibiades II 143a

Turtle Nebulae

blue, pink, just out in the void we call space.

sitting there floating, in all of it's grace.

Hope of love, mood of sight, color of pain

Today, don't ask anything, for the heart is very melancholy

umid-e-yar nazar ka mizaj dard ka rang tum aaj kuchh bhi na puchho ki dil udas bahut hai

I know I'm alive, since I still hear the ringing; in most other senses, to life I'm just clinging.

Lord, teach me how to bite

On a Statue of a Bacchant at Byzantium

Anthologia Planudea 57 = Paulus Silentiarius (6th cent. CE) It was not Nature, but rather Art That made the Bacchant out of her mind And mingled madness throughout the stone. ἔκφρονα τὴν βάκχην οὐχ ἡ φύσις, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ τέχνη θήκατο, καὶ μανίην ἐγκατέμιξε λίθῳ.

A dancing maenad. Detail from a red-figure skyphos by the painter Python, ca. 330-320 BCE. From Paestum (Poseidonia), Italy; now in the British Museum. Photo credit: © Marie-Lan Nguyen / Wikimedia Commons.

you want the garden’s flower, while i seek the wild white rose. ]

/ आसारी-तुसारी दुरा-पारा री हुई; तुसा लोड़ी बागा रा भउंर, आसा लोड़ी तालरू री कुही। ]

Ghost of Jupiter

like a shadow, gone without a trace.

everything is quiet out here in space.

I am nobody in this gray weather. Scared I might stay nobody forever.

I learned to speak at age 14.

By 15 I learned to never speak again.

If we had two hours and nothing to do,

I'd take your hand and trace invisible circles on you.

It's pouring down rain this week so I'll have to get in my last couple of miles in between downpours. I might actually finish my weight/HIIT goal this way though 😂

Weights/HIIT: 6/10
