INVOCATION

Capturing the materialization of fabric from its first stage of existence through its decline, destruction, and, finally, rebir th.

Metamorphoses, the epic work of Roman poet Ovid, charts the origin of the earth and the human race to their eventual destruction and renaissance.

CREATION Ante mare et terras et quod tegit omnia caelum unus erat toto naturae vultus in orbe, quem dixere chaos: rudis indigestaque moles nec quicquam nisi pondus iners congestaque eodem non bene iunctarum discordia semina rerum.

Before the ocean and the earth appeared— before the skies had overspread them all— the face of Nature in a vast expanse was naught but chaos uniformly waste.

Utque erat et tellus illic et pontus et aer, sic erat instabilis tellus, innabilis unda, lucis egens aer; nulli sua forma manebat, obstabatque aliis aliud, quia corpore in uno frigida pugnabant calidis, umentia siccis, mollia cum duris, sine pondere, habentia pondus.

It was a rude and undeveloped mass, that nothing made except a ponderous weight; and all discordant elements confused, were there congested in a shapeless heap.

Hanc deus et melior litem natura diremit. Nam caelo terras et terris abscidit undas et liquidum spisso secrevit ab aere caelum.Quae postquam evolvit caecoque exemit acer vo, dissociata locis concordi pace ligavit.

But God, or kindly Nature, ended strife— he cut the land from skies, the sea from land, the heavens ethereal from material air; and when all were evolved from that dark mass, he bound the fractious parts in tranquil peace.

Ignea convexi vis et sine pondere caeli emicuit summaque locum sibi fecit in arce; proximus est aer illi levitate locoque; densior his tellus elementaque grandia traxit et pressa est gravitate sua; circumfluus umor ultima possedit solidumque coercuit orbem.

The fiery element of convex heaven leaped from the mass devoid of dragging weight, and chose the summit arch to which the air, as next in quality, was next in place.

The earth, more dense, attracted grosser par ts and, moved by gravity, sank underneath; and last of all, the wide, surrounding waves in deeper channels rolled around the globe.

LIFE Aurea prima sata est aetas, quae vindice nullo, sponte sua, sine lege fidem rectumque colebat. Poena metusque aberant, nec verba minantia fixo aere legebantur, nec supplex turba timebat iudicis ora sui, sed erant sine vindice tuti.

First was the Golden Age. Then rectitude spontaneous in the heart prevailed, and faith. Avengers were not seen, for laws unframed were all unknown and needless.

Punishment and fear of penalties existed not.

Ipsa quoque inmunis rastroque intacta nec ullis saucia vomeribus per se dabat omnia tellus;

The harrow touched the earth not, nor did the plowshare wound her fields.

Contentique cibis nullo cogente creatis arbuteos fetus montanaque fraga legebant cornaque et in duris haerentia mora rubetis et quae deciderant patula Iovis arbore glandes.

Then of her own accord, the earth produced a store of every fruit. And man, content with given food, and compelling none, gathered the arbute fruits and wild strawberries on the mountain sides, and ripe blackberries clinging to the bush, and corners and sweet acorns on the ground, fallen from the spreading tree of Jove.

DECLINE De duro est ultima ferro. protinus inrupit venae peioris in aevum omne nefas: fugere pudor verumque fidesque; in quorum subiere locum fraudesque dolusque insidiaeque et vis et amor sceleratus habendi.

And last of all, the ruthless and hard Age of Iron prevailed, from which malignant vein great evil sprung; and modesty and faith and truth tookflight, and in their stead deceits and snares and frauds and violence and wicked love of gain, succeeded.

Vivitur ex rapto: non hospes ab hospite tutus, non socer a genero, fratrum quoque gratia rara est; inminet exitio vir coniugis, illa mariti, lurida terribiles miscent aconita novercae, filius ante diem patrios inquirit in annos: victa iacet pietas, et virgo caede madentis ultima caelestum terras Astraea reliquit.

Rapacity broke for th- the guest was not protected from his host, the father-in-law from his own son-in-law; even brothers could seldom abide in peace. The husband threatened to destroy his wife, and she, her husband; horrid step-dames mixed the deadly henbane; eager sons inquired their fathers ages. Piety was slain and, last of all, the virgin deity Astraea vanished from the blood-stained ear th.

DESTRUCTION ‘Nam quamquam ferus hostis erat, tamen illud ab uno corpore et ex una pendebat origine bellum; nunc mihi qua totum Nereus circumsonat orbem.

Cuncta prius temptanda, sed inmedicabile curae ense recidendum, ne pars sincera trahatur.’

And Jove said, “Now must I utterly destroy this mor tal race wherever Nereus roars around the world. Every method has been tried. The knife must cut immedicable wounds, lest maladies infect untainted parts.”

Iamque erat in totas sparsurus fulmina terras; sed timuit, ne forte sacer tot ab ignibus aether conciperet flammas longusque ardesceret axis.

And now his thunder bolts would Jove widely scatter, but he feared the flames, unnumbered, sacred ether might ignite and burn the axle of the universe.

REBIRTH Separat Aonios Oetaeis Phocis ab ar vis, terra ferax, dum terra fuit, sed tempore in illo pars maris et latus subitarum campus aquarum.

Mons ibi verticibus petit arduus astra duobus, nomine Parnasos, superantque cacumina nubes.

A fruitful land and fair but now submerged beneath a wilderness of rising waves, ‘twixt Oeta and Aonia, Phocis lies, where through the clouds Parnassus’ summits twain point upward to the stars, unmeasured height, save which the rolling billows covered all.

Hic ubi Deucalion nam cetera texerat aequor cum consorte tori parva rate vectus adhaesit, Corycidas nymphas et numina montis adorant fatidicamque Themin, quae tunc oracla tenebat: non illo melior quisquam nec amantior aequi vir fuit aut illa metuentior ulla deorum.

There in a small and fragile boat, arrived, Deucalion and the consort of his couch, prepared to worship the Corycian Nymphs, the mountain deities, and Themis kind, who in that age revealed in oracles the voice of fate.

As he no other lived, so good and just; as she no other feared the Gods.
