Tatwine Riddle 19: De strabis oculis
ALEXANDRAREIDER
Date: Wed 05 Jan 2022Original text:
Inter mirandum cunctis est cetera quod nunc
Narro quidem: nos produxit genitrix, uterinos,
Sed quod contemplor, mox illud cernere spernit,
Atque quod ille videt secum, mox cernere nolo.
Est dispar nobis visus, sed inest amor unus.
Translation:
For all to wonder at: among the things that indeed
I now say: our mother produced us, born of the same uterus,
But that which I observe, he afterwards scorns to behold,
And what he himself sees, I do not wish then to see.
Our sight is unequal, but our desire is one.
