Thanks for the info, Maryann. I saw your post about log-in problems on the General Topics board, so if anyone's having a problem logging in they can read that post.

Yes, sorry about the delay, Petra. We're on it now.

Voting will happen when all Geoff's posts are up.

Having no knowledge of Latin,
I can only comment on correspondence of trot to the translation.

The translation does not carry clearly the main point of the trot:
vest as little of trust and hopes as possible into a far-away future, but face what comes your way and be wise in a "short scope."
Trot has this thread strongly present and re-iterated, while the translation obscures it.

The omission of the name "Leuconoe" is sorely missed, as it depersonalizes the poem somewhat. "sea's hand" is not a good phrase here, unless decoded as "the sea had a hand in the destruction", but even that would imply shared causality, so it still is unsuited. As to "loaves of time", this seems unnaturalistically contrived. These are the three things that you need to work on. I wouldn't tamper too much with the remainder. Reads just fine to me.
