legend

The gates of hell are open night and day; Smooth the descent, and easy is the way: But to return, and view the cheerful skies, In this the task and mighty labor lies.

Parue -- nec inuideo -- sine me, liber, ibis in urbem:
Little book, go without me – I don’t begrudge it – to the city.
ei mihi, quod domino non licet ire tuo!
Ah, alas, that your master’s not allowed to go!

— Ovid, Tristia, I.i, tr A.S. Kline

"We work in the dark--we do what we can--we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art." -- Henry James

mothers and men

Hither rushed all the throng, streaming to the banks; mothers and men and bodies of high-souled heroes, their life now done, boys and unwedded girls, and sons placed on the pyre before their fathers’ eyes; thick as the leaves of the forest that at autumn’s first frost drop and fall, and thick as the birds that from the seething deep flock shoreward, when the chill of the year drives them overseas and sends them into sunny lands.
