Apollo in Love

Ovid, Metamorphoses I.512-524

“But ask after whom it is you please: I am no mountain-dweller, I’m no shepherd; I do not, hairy, keep watch here over herds And flocks. Rash one, you do not know, you do not, Whom you flee, and that is why you flee. The Delphic land obeys me, Claros too, And Tenedos, and the palace of Patara; Jupiter’s my father; through me’s revealed What will be, what has been, and what now is; Through me songs make their harmony with strings. My arrow’s sure, but there’s one arrow surer, Which has made a wound within my empty breast. Medicine’s my discovery, and I’m called Help-Bringer throughout the world – the power of herbs Has been set under me…alas for me, That love cannot be cured by any herbs, Nor are the arts that are a boon to all Any boon to him who is their lord!”

"Cui placeas, inquire tamen. Non incola montis, non ego sum pastor, non hic armenta gregesque horridus observo. Nescis, temeraria, nescis quem fugias, ideoque fugis. Mihi Delphica tellus et Claros et Tenedos Patareaque regia servit, Iuppiter est genitor; per me quod eritque fuitque estque patet; per me concordant carmina nervis. Certa quidem nostra est, nostra tamen una sagitta certior, in vacuo quae vulnera pectore fecit. Inventum medicina meum est, opiferque per orbem dicor, et herbarum subiecta potentia nobis: ei mihi, quod nullis amor est sanabilis herbis nec prosunt domino, quae prosunt omnibus, artes.”

Apollo and Daphne, Piero del Pollaiolo, 1470s

today in ovidian things that i'll never be over: this clause from the story of apollo and daphne.

...et sterilem sperando nutrit amorem. ...and he fosters his sterile love with hope. —O. Met. 1.496 (translation and emphasis mine)

apollo's sterile love. mccarter (<3<3<3) renders it thus (1.535 in her translation)* and i was like. what latin word could "sterile" possibly represent.

sterilis really is just "sterile." it's "unfruitful" or "useless" or "empty" or even "barren," a term associated with eunuchs of all people. it can mean "without children" or even "without people."

what a way to describe a disasterous, god-induced infatuation.

*her version reads "he nourishes his sterile love with hope;" i like "fosters," with its sense of child-rearing, a little better for nutrio, but i'm also not constrained by meter.

Noli me Tangere

Noli me Tangere: Selections from the Solve et Coagula series

This selection of collages, part of an ongoing project by Ryan M. Pfeiffer + Rebecca Walz under the title Solve et Coagula, derives from their ever-growing atlas of source material. As the title of this body of work suggests, the artists approach collage in terms of alchemy, a means of dissolving and coagulating images from Art History’s vast archive into new artworks—a synthesis of the elements from which they are built. 

In this series, Pfeiffer + Walz re-imagine Mary Magdalene and Christ’s narrative of loss and mourning by focusing on the desire that subtly pervades their story. Mary becomes an icon not only of ceremonial grief but empowered eroticism, her fleshly immanence contrasting with Christ’s transcendental nature. Individually, the collages cut together biblical scenes with fragments culled from Paleolithic sources to contemporary art. The ensuing tableaus are disjunct yet cinematic, unfolding into a resonant drama of longing, seduction, and intimacy—themes that are often abstracted or omitted entirely regarding the sourced iconography. One finds recurrent images of hands clasping one another, reaching across empty space to make contact, and leaving behind ghostly traces on walls they’ve touched. Fire and cut flowers collide with bloody flesh and crumbling landscapes. Bodies strike operatic poses, writhing in ecstasy or lying lifelessly, always suspended between anguish and elation for what the connection of touch threatens and promises.

Notions of touching and cutting inherent to the technique of collage are therefore reflected within the motifs of the series: one cuts out an admired painting of Mary, herself being cut off from touching Christ one last time; Anna Mendieta entombs herself into the sanguine earth and Apollo’s forbidden touch turns Daphne into a tree; Helen Frankenthaler caresses her canvas with fluid paint, a woman pleasures herself, and Forrest Bess cuts a hole into himself; doubting Thomas probes Christ’s cut, and Andre Breton touches a prehistoric cave drawing because he doubts its authenticity. The distinct treatment of these subjects coalesce under the resounding phrase noli me tangere.

5 of Cups ~ Bachus Tarot

  We all, in our pursuits, will experience setbacks and disappointments. There will be rejections, people will misunderstand our work, we’ll put our heart and soul into a project and watch the world respond with meh. The difference in how this affects us will be what we do then. Whether we get up and try again, or whether we allow our disappointment to slowly erode our ambitions and confidence. It’s easy, with this card, to get stuck in the sadness. Doubt sneaks in. We start to wonder if any of this is worth it anymore. But the card cues us: yes. There’s still something left; you just need to turn around with clear eyes and see it. The premiere of Italian composer Arrigo Boito’s Mefistofele in 1868 was a disaster. It was his first opera, and he decided to conduct the orchestra himself, something he’d never done before. It went about as well as you can imagine. The music was chaotic, the singers missed their cues, and the audience started to riot. The reviews were vicious, and Boito was humiliated when the opera closed after only two performances. He collaborated with other composers but never finished another opera of his own. Mefistofele was rediscovered and embraced by opera lovers. It has been sung by greats like Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. Productions are still staged today. It’s not easy to walk away from disappointment. It is so easy to get stuck. Part of the process of the Five of Cups, however, is to mourn the loss. If we repress our feelings, just shove them down with the help of cake or booze (or cake and booze), or tell ourselves, “What do those jerks know, anyway?” we don’t learn the lesson of why the project flopped. And if we just sink into depression, it’s easy for all production to cease, as we can’t regain the optimism necessary to try again. Somewhere between wallowing and repression is the way out. You cannot allow your grief to turn into depression. The only way out is through. Feel the loss, but then eventually get over it so that you can get back to work. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS Mefistofele, opera by Arrigo Boito “Daphne and Apollo,” poem by Ovid Nocturne pour violin et piano, musical composition by Lili Boulanger The Creative Tarot. Jessa Crispin
