Fuck Your Chicken Strips

Just a queer NB writer/poet who's making their way through a trainwreck of a life but it's a good time sometimes. At home in libraries and cafés, love any animal that doesn't slither, and a strong advocate of eating the rich. What is self-esteem?

“Tell the king; the fair wrought house has fallen. No shelter has Apollo, nor sacred laurel leaves; The fountains are now silent; the voice is stilled. It is finished.”

Do you ever think about (one of) the last statements of the Oracle at Delphi and just get really, really sad? I do. (via heraslions)

I’m genuinely impressed at how bad people all over the net are at citing this  and other translations of its quotes. You would not believe how many hoops I had to jump through to find out where it came from, and then how many more to get the Greek. (And then when you know where it comes from, it’s buried on a stupid non-main page of wikipedia, of course).

εἴπατε τῷ βασιλεῖ, χαμαὶ πέσε δαίδαλος αὐλά οὐκέτι Φοῖβος ἐχει καλύβην, οὐ μάντιδα δάφνην οὐ παγὰν λαλέουσαν ἀπέσβετο καὶ λάλον ὕδωρ. (Philostorgos, Ecclesiastical History 77 [Bidez-Winkelmann]; Kedrenos 1 523 [Bonn]; Pseudo-Symeon Paris. gr. 1712 ff.91v-92:)

To make the translation more literal:

Tell the king: the well-made hall has fallen to the ground; No longer has Phoibos his shelter, nor his prophetic laurel, nor the chattering spring; and even the babbling water has ceased

(The spring ought to be that of Kastalia well up Mount Parnassos itself; the waters are the stream of Kassotis, where that spring seems to re-emerge near the temple of Delphi proper).

You were right. You’re gonna have to be more specific. About what you said. Earlier. I’d know my moment when it came. Oh, hey. And yeah. You were incredible. That snake didn’t stand a chance. That’s not my moment. —TITANS S0405: Inside Man
