Yesterday forgets her shadow,
Casted on the fold.
The pious and the hungry both,
Her amnesia scold.
Such arrogant causality.
How oppressive the chain.
What caustic linearity
Could let a love sustain?
Awake in an automaton,
A shell inside a ghost -
I would let go of yesterday,
But time insists we host.

Bit of French there? Verum.....?
I'm bit un-cultured. Erm, I never did study languages much! heehee.
Its latin. : )
Heehee I knows it really!
I'll vote with orch.... While you are there, if you are going to be, you might like to add 'Quemis' to your explanation.
?
I would have thought that the implication in my post was plain (it may be my delusion, but I think I manage clear, unambiguous language).
I would have liked your translation..... I'm resourceful - I don't ask such questions lightly. So before troubling you I consulted Prof. Google which resulted in a correction to the initial query, Prof G. preferring to consider 'Verum est Factum' (please note the inserted 'c').
Now it may be there's not much difference...that something close would have been also acceptable - what about Vm et Fm? Why worry!
As for 'Quemis' - I certainly am not going to Prof G after my last query - don't want to irritate the old fella..... I know how it feels...
No its all good!
Quemis is just the name of a character from a novel I have been failing at writing for years.
He throws potions.
Alchemist in a few other languages is something like Al'Quemis
SO: Quemis.
: )
Thanks for all that. Go on - have another bash at the novel; if at first you don't succeed and all that....
Take care.
beautiful title: be true to thy self in the face of fate?
(I'm sorry if my ignorance meant I misinterpreted your message)..

a great stanza!

Yea - something like that- I don't know latin. I just like latin titles and names.
Glad you like the stanza. It's a good one. : )
