words to live by
excerpt from hesiod's works and days, lines 438-442, as translated by stanley lombardo:
done and done!
this is the rule for plains and seaboard
and for mountain valleys far from the sea:
plant naked, plow naked, and reap naked
if you want to garner all of demeter's bounty
in season, and have each crop grow when it's due.
done and done!
