Gift of God

Imagination and Memory By David D. Pearce

"Id quoque, quod vivam, munus habere Dei." "This also -- that I live, I consider a gift of God." -- Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso), Roman poet, 43 B.C-A.D. 18, "Tristia", Book 1, Poem 1, line 20. Ovid's Tristia, or "Sorrows", were written in the town of Tomi, near the mouth of the Danube on the Black Sea. He had been banished there by the emperor Augustus in 9 AD. This image is about no particular religion -- the structure in the background could be a minaret, it could be a bell tower, it could be a Roman column. It is rather about simple devotion and the universal tug of the divine.
