When it comes to being respected, I like to paraphrase a famous saying about being loved by the Roman orator Ovidius Publius Naso aka Ovid thusly:
"If you want to be #respected, be #respectable."

Greatly enjoyed the “Metamorphoses” show at the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social in #Amsterdam. How to make Ovid, Titian, Rodin, Caravaggio and antiquity make sense in a seamless, compelling story. Outstanding - even if I did, like Arachne, turn into a spider. Metamorphoses, indeed. #ovid #amsterdam
March 20 is the birthday of #Roman poet #Ovid who we #quote and back with a picture of raccoons in a bayou near #NewOrleans. If there’s something in this #quotograph that speaks to you, please feel free to share it with others.
Like so many of Shakespeare’s sonnets, number 65 is part of a rich and dynamic tradition linking him, via Sidney and Wyatt, to Petrarch, and from the great Italian back to Ovid.
Here’s my recording of the poem👇

#OnThisDay - 20 March - in 43 BC, my favourite (& the best!) poet Publius Ovidius Naso was born in "watery Sulmo". Brilliant, controversial, and breathing poetry, his verse would run him foul with the Emperor Augustus. #Ovid 🏺

Ohne Latein hätte ich heute noch keine Ahnung von Grammatik😂. Es schult das analytische Denken und das Gefühl für Sprache. Ohne Latein hätte ich vermutlich #Ovid nicht getroffen: was für ein Verlust!

Why being a poet matters:
“Di quoque carminibus, si fas est dicere, fiunt
tantaque maiestas ore canentis eget.”
Even the gods have their existence through songs, if it is right to say so. Majesty on that scale needs the voice of a poet.
