ὐτὸν δ᾿ ἐξεσάωσα. τί μοι μέλει ἀσπὶς ἐκείνη; ἐρρέτω· ἐξαῦτις κτήσομαι οὐ κακίω.
- Archilochus
But I rescued myself. What does that shield matter to me? Fuck it. I’ll buy no worse a shield next time.

‘Oh daughter of a clever mother (...) there are many god-given delights for young  men besides the god-like thing; of these, some one will be enough’

Non esiste l'impensabile nei fatti: tantomeno il sacrosanto. Fine dei miracoli, da quando Zeus padre di Celesti da colmo giorno fece notte, velo nero su bagliore di sole acceso. Tutti s'imperlarono d'angoscia. Dopo, fu generale smarrimento: equivoco infinito è ormai l'umana realtà.
Archiloco fr. 122

A male ruby-throated hummingbird visited the feeder this morning. He seemed very hungry. I was able to get pictures without scaring him away which is rare. He’s probably on his way south from somewhere north of here. His throat looks black because the light wasn’t right to light up. I think (hope) the white things are pollen.
