EPIGRAPH: Alma Venus, coeli subter labentia signa
Quae mare navigerum, quae terras frugiferentes
Concelebras...
Quae... rerum naturam sola gubernas
Nec sine te quidquam dias in luminis oras
Exoritur, neque fit laetum neque amabile quidquam...
(Life-giving Venus, who beneath the gliding stars of heaven
Fills with your presence the sea that bears our ships
And the land that bears our crop...
You alone govern the nature of things,
And nothing comes forth into the shores of light
Or is glad or lovely without you...)
FROM: De Rerum Natura, I, (-50), Book, Italy

EPIGRAPH: Lonely people have enthusiasms which cannot always be explained... When something touches their emotions, it runs through them like Paul Revere, awakening feelings that gather into great armies.
