End and goal. — Not every end is the goal. The end

of a melody is not its goal; but yet if the melody

has not attained its end, then it has not attained

its goal. A parable. [Wanderer and his Shadow 204]

           *            *            *            

When you, oppressed by bitter calamity of fortune,

sent me this epistle written in tears, shipwrecked

and thrown by foaming waves of the sea, so I might

uplift and rescue you from the threshold of death;

whom neither sacred Venus lets you to console in a

yielding sleep, deserted on a lonely bed, abiding,

nor with the ancients' melodic writings should the

oracular Muses divertingly delight, with your mind

dreaded, always vigilant... [Catullus, Carmina 68]
