When Diana lighteth Late her crystal lamp, Her pale glory kindleth At her brother's fire: Little straying west winds Wander over heaven, Moonlight falleth, And recalleth With a wakening of old pain, Hearts that have denied his reign To love again Hesperus, the evening star, To all things that mortals are Grants the dew of sleep. .................. Dum Dianae vitrea Sero lampas oritur, Et a fratris rosea Luce dum succenditur. Dulcis aura zephyri Spirant omnes etheri, Nubes tollit, Sic emollit Vi chordarum pectora, Et inmutat Cor, quod nutat Ad amoris pignora Letum iubar hesperi Gratiorem Dat humorem Roris soporiferi Mortalium generi (Carmina Burana, 37) .................... Look as they rise, up rise! Lo! Over the line where the sky meets the earth. Pleiades! Come to guide us, keeping us one, Teach us to be like you, united. (Pawnee Song to the Pleiades, in "When the Stars Came Down to Earth") ......And through the calendric smokehole window of the lodge was their archaeoastronomy transcribed to hide. Star Chart.
