Poem about an eclipse by the 7th BC century poet Archilochus
Archilochus puts those words in the mouth of a father talking to his daughter, but it's actually him consoling his sister for the unexpected loss of her husband in a shipwreck. In essense, he advises her not to despair, since nothing is unexpected in this world -even death is part of it. For some reason, this poem fits well the current situation, the pandemic, considering that it was pretty much unexpected; but don't lose hope, everything is possible!
"Nothing is unexpected, nothing is foresworn and
Nothing amazes now that father Zeus the Olympian
veiled the light to make it night at midday
even as sun was shining: so dread fear has overtaken men.
From this time on everything that men believe
will be doubted: may none of us who see this be surprised
when we see forest beasts taking turns in the salted field
with dolphins, when the echoing waves of the sea become
Dearer to them than the sand, and the dolphins love the wooded glen…"
