More from Ovid
"Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again."
"As wave is driven by wave. And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead, So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows, Always, for ever and new. What was before. Is left behind; what never was is now…"
"There is nothing constant in the universe. All ebb and flow, and every shape that's born, bears in its womb the seeds of change."
"I am dragged along by a strange new force. Desire and reason are pulling in different directions. I see the right way and approve it, but follow the wrong."
"Medio tutissimus ibis."
About Ovid (43 BCE - 17/18 CE)
Roman poet whose Metamorphoses (8 CE) is the longest surviving Latin poem and Western literature's main pagan-mythology source. Closely associated with Virgil (the Aeneid poet and other Augustan poetic giant) and Horace (third Augustan-era major poet). For an intellectual contrast, see Augustus, Roman emperor (27 BCE – 14 CE) — Augustus exiled Ovid to Tomis on the Black Sea in 8 CE, reasons tied to his erotic poetry (Ars Amatoria) and possible knowledge of imperial-family scandal — Augustus represented Roman moral-restoration politics that Ovid's witty erotic verse was structurally against.
