Image for the poem Libra Veneris

Libra Veneris

Venus– Goddess of air and light
Adorning shades of sunset hues
Of ivory, pink, and glowing blues
While she awaits the waxing night
 
To measure stars upon her scale
That judges beauty from each gem,
Each light to sit around the hem
Like cultured pearls upon her veil.
 
But Libra's house will never tilt
To sacrifice her pleasure dome
The palace that she calls her home
By chance to cause a rose to wilt.
 
Hoc quidem nunquam facies.

 
 
 
Jade's notes:  
The title is Latin for "Scales of Venus".
The final line is Latin, roughly translated as "And this of course will never do.".
The second stanza is in reference to the constellation Libra.

Quality: Cardinal
