ALEXANDRAREIDER
Date: Mon 27 Dec 2021Original text:
Porro, senectutis fugiens discrimina ferre,
Lumina fuscantur mihi, sicque foramina tecti
Illa parte domus quae solis spectat in ortum
Intro, ac Titanis radiis inluminor ipsis.
Translation:
Furthermore, fleeing tolerance of old age’s ravages,
My eyes are deprived of light, and thus into openings in the roof
On that side of the house which looks toward the sunrise
I enter, and I am illuminated by the rays of Titan themselves.
On the lizard
