Ovid's Anthropocene
Wait, did you translate these passages from Ovid? This is really wonderful stuff.
Yes—thanks! I did the translation awhile ago. I thought I might keep going, but translation is *work*! For me at any rate.
Well thank for that labor. You have made it alive. It seems like entering Ovid’s mind and wresting into your own words the elemental forces of creation has been a cosmogonic process of its own.
You’re so right—the deep intimacy and entanglement of the living world feels very close in Ovid’s song.
