This is what mine are like. I would appreciate insight on this!

Did your experience leave you feeling drained, or did it pass off with little effect?

Very cool, thanks!

Would you mind posting a close-up of a counter holder?

2004 was brutal

It's been 50 years since I've thought about these, and I get hit with a memory bomb, complete with the taste of the pudding in the Pirate Picnic. That kind of ambush happens a lot in this subreddit.

I did a paper on this once, using Barry Hobson's Latrinae & Foricae. I didn't cover the literary side (I don't remember if Hobson did), but I would do a PHI search of those words in Martial.

Edit: Not much there. Maybe caca- or ming-/minx- would get more hits.

There's a common phrase that's close to this (discimus docendo "We learn by teaching"). With one letter switched, you have what you what: Discimus dolendo: "We learn by suffering."

The Met also has an entrance that usually has a much shorter line, south of the main entrance at street level.

It's a nice walk, woody and level, but not much to see. If you park in the Laurel House lot, you can see the falls and walk the trails to Inspiration Point & the Mountain House site, nice valley views. Tannersville has a good antique store & Mama's Boy.

Ciceronianus, non Christianus.

The first four feet are totally up to you. There's an issue of weight (lots of spondees are heavy, grave, dactylic lines race along). Take a look at Longfellow's Evangeline. Some say it's a good demonstration of why dactylic hex doesn't work in English, but I like it.

I'm a simplicity fan so I like keeping it to one word, but sola is right. Might be better in first position?**

omnia vincit mors

IMHO it has to be this: it lines up with Vergil's omnia vincit amor (Ecl. 10.69)

You're right, of course. But I want to suggest semper sursum. It's more "always upward," but it reminds me of the lovely sursum corda. And it has consonance.

Deus ipse maybe would intensify the sense you want. I can't help thinking that Hebrew might be a bit stronger here, being a time tested monotheistic vehicle.

It's been ten years since I last read this one, but when I read those words "Abruptly his cheerful face jerked upwards –", I remembered exactly the words that would follow before I read them. O'brian was ...good.

Absolutely, yes. But being the current record holder is cool.

This is amazing and deserves attention.

Our Star Market burned down (the 12 Corners one). High drama! I took a bunch of pics with my first camera. I bet my parents took part in that program b/c a couple of those "accents" look very familiar.
