“If you irritate the wound, Perikles, no man in our city will enjoy the festivities. These men were washed under by the thudding seawaves, and the hearts in our chest are swollen with pain. Yet against this incurable misery, the gods give us the harsh medicine of endurance. Sorrows come and go, friend, and now they strike us and we look with horror on the bleeding sores, yet tomorrow others will mourn the dead. I tell you, hold back your feminine tears and endure.”

“Let brawling waves beat his ship against the shore, and have the mop-haired Thracians take him naked at Salmydessos, and he will suffer a thousand calamities as he chews the bread of slaves. His body will stiffen in freezing surf as he wrestles with slimy seaweed, and his teeth will rattle like a helpless dog, flopped on his belly in the surge, puking out the brine. Let me watch him grovel in mud—for the wrong he did me: as a traitor he trampled on our good faith, he who was once my comrade.”

“Women of honey-sweet voices, my limbs are weak. They will not bear me. I wish, ah, I wish I were a carefree kingfisher flying over flowering foam with the halcyons—sea-blue holy birds of spring.”

“Zeus rumbles and a mammoth winter of snow pours from the sky; agile rivers are ice. Damn the winter cold! Pile up the burning logs and water the great flagons of red wine; place feather pillows by your head, and drink. Let us not brood about hard times. Bakchos, our solace is in you and your red wines: our medicine of grape. Drink deeply, drink.”

“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.”
