“Wash your gullet with wine for the Dog Star returns with the hear of summer searing a thirsting earth. Cicadas cry softy under high leaves, and pour down shrill song incessantly from under their wings. The artichoke blooms, and women are warm and wanton— but men turn lean and limp for the burning Dog Star parches their brains and knees.” — Alkaios
Wash your gullet with wine for the Dog Star returns
with the hear of summer searing a thirsting earth.
Cicadas cry softy under high leaves, and pour down
shrill song incessantly from under their wings.
The artichoke blooms, and women are warm and wanton—
but men turn lean and limp for the burning Dog Star
parches their brains and knees.
