Adds and deletes. Doubts; finds fault with; approves.
She throws the tablet down, then picks it up!”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses

“The shade of Orpheus now fled below,
and recognized all he had seen before;
and as he searched through the Elysian Fields,
he came upon his lost Eurydice,
and passionately threw his arms about her;
here and now, they walk together, side by side,
or now he follows as she goes before,
or he precedes, and she goes after him;
and now there is no longer any danger
when Orpheus looks upon Eurydice.”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses

“The ties that bind in piety were overcome by fear, and he surrendered them for punishment: a brother's pardonable cowardice.”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses
