Look! How deep it stands in snow, shining white,

Mount Soracte! Under the weight already

The woods are bending, and the bitter ice

Has made the streams stand still.

Burn off the cold, be generous piling up

The wood on the hearth, and kindly

Pour a glass of your strongest wine,

Bartender, from the Sabine jar.

Leave the rest to the gods!

They can calm the winds warring

On the violent sea, so not a breeze

Moves the ancient cypress trees.

What will happen tomorrow? Don’t ask;

But whatever Fate decides, mark it down

As profit. And listen, boy, don’t avoid

Sweet love, don’t spurn the dancing,

Not while you’re young and far from

Bitter old age. Now is the time to plan

For evening strolls, for love games

And soft whispers in the dusk,

Now, listen! You can hear your girl laughing,

As she pretends to hide in the far corner,

Waiting for you to steal the pledge of love

From her unresisting hands.

- Ode by Horace, translation by me

"Love Dogs"

by Rumi

One night a man was crying Allah! Allah!

his lips grew sweet with praising,

until a cynic said, "So!

I have heard you calling out, but have you ever

gotten any response?"

The man had no answer to that.

He quit praying and fell into a confused sleep.

He dreamed he saw Khidr, the guide of souls,

in a thick, green foliage.

"Why did you stop praising?" "Because

I've never heard anything back."

"The Longing you express

is the return message."

The grief you cry out from

draws you toward union.

Your pure sadness

that wants help

is the secret cup.

Listen to the moan of a dog for its master.

That whining is the connection.

There are love dogs

no one knows the names of.

Give your life

to be one of them.

Whoever said frogs say "Ribbit" was being incredibly reductive some of these guys do say "Ribbit" but a lot of them be saying "ᴮᵉᵉᵖ" some of them be saying "Waauu" and some of them be saying "Fuck" but I don't know who taught them that one.

I still can't believe that the word "atonement" is a contraction of the words at one and the suffix -ment
