A lonely table in the midst of a glacier, feels surreal. Yet, it somehow complements its surroundings.

Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim.” “Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.

Publius Ovidius Naso, known as Ovid in the English-speaking world, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus.  He was a contemporary of the older Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature.  Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity, but, in one of the mysteries of literary history, was sent by Augustus into exile in a remote province on the Black Sea, where he remained until his death. Ovid himself attributes his exile to “carmen et error,” “a poem and a mistake,” but his discretion in discussing the causes has resulted in much speculation among scholars.

Ovid is today best known for the Metamorphoses, a 15-book continuous mythological narrative written in the meter of epic which is how we know much of Roman mythology, and for works in elegiac couplets such as Ars Amatoria (“The Art of Love”) and Fasti.  His poetry was much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and greatly influenced Western art and literature.
