Unfettered Feet

Brevis esse
laboro,
obscurus fio.*


Inceptis gravibus plerumque et magna professis
purpureus, late qui splendeat, unus et alter
adsuitur pannus.**


Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero
pulsanda tellus.***

*It is when I struggle to be brief that I become obscure.
**Often a purple patch or two is tacked onto a serious work of high promise to give an effect of color.
***Now is the time for dancing. Now is the time to beat the earth with unfettered feet.
