Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Her voice is stopt, her joints forget to bow;

Her eyes are mad that they have wept till now.

Venus and Adonis          Line 1058

Well, she told him not to go out boar hunting, and what did he do? He went out boar hunting. Now the boar’s gotten the best of him, and all Venus has left is a mangled body to cry over. That’s pretty depressing isn’t it? And Christmas Day no less. To be fair, it’s not Christmas for Venus and Adonis, just for Pete and Mojo (and of course everyone else on the planet, or at least everyone else who cares to celebrate Christmas).

Speaking of which, I saw an interesting photo this morning whilst doing some scrolling. It was a picture of the lunar module heading down to the moon with the earth in the background. It was taken by astronaut Michael Collins from the command module of Apollo Eleven as it orbited the moon. The note on the picture was that Collins was the only human being in existence who was not in that picture. Even though you can’t see them, his two fellow astronauts were in the lunar module and everyone else, and I mean everyone, was on the earth in the background. What an interesting thought, eh?

Now, what’s that got to do with Venus and Adonis? Nothing that I can think of, but that’s what came to mind. And it’s a little more uplifting than thinking about Venus crying over Adonis.

 

Merry Christmas.
