Archilochus 🔥 II

Naught, now, can pass belief, in nature's ways

no strange anomaly our wonder raise.

the Olympian father hands a noon-day night

o'er the sun's disk and veils its glittering light.

fear falls on man.

hence miracles, before

incredible, are counted strange no more.

stand not amazed if beasts change the wood

with dolphins and exist amid the flood; 

these the firm land exchange for sounding waves,

and those find pleasure in the mountain caves.
