And again, another poem in English about Greek Muses. This time, I praise Urania, Muse of Astronomy and my preferred Muse. I love studying Astronomy in general (didn't go to college because I needed to work and it's a full-time course in Brazil), and I just can't simply not writing about Her. #lucavalheiro #authorialpoetry #englishpoetry #lgbtauthor #greekmythology #ancientgreece #muses #urania Image credit: Jean Louis Tocqué, "Allegoric portrait of Urania, Muse of Astronomy", 18th century, public domain. --- Urania Lu Cavalheiro (@lu.cicerone.cavalheiro) Licença CC-BY-SA 4.0 Internacional How wonderful are those stars of yours Ethereal souls shining from true past None of them meant to for eternity last Painting the dark void with many colours No words can describe the magic hours I have spent babbling about that cast Although they were gone way too fast Leaving in my memory their celestial tours Urania, my majestic Muse of Astronomy Hear my call on all those dark nights Teach me your secrets about authonomy For Yours truly is a beautiful, rare sight You share to us mortals with parcimony Making our petty lives a little more bright (em Olavo Bilac, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7wioJrhLh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
