I love so much that the ritual exists, that it is not just recorded for posterity but still performed and I hope it does not die out. I thought the presence of children in the video of the procession was a good sign.
We, your readers, get the best: a gloss on the movie that enriches it.
Thank you. I am very glad it worked that way for you.
And thank you too for the samples of art. In the link to the bust of Tanit, do you know what she's wearing around her neck?
Beads decorated with an eye motif—I assume for the same apotropaic reasons as the rest of the classical (and modern) world. They look as though they are made of colored glass to me, but I suppose they could be clay.
--first line of a poem, anyone?
I did steal part of it from the Aeneid!
(When/if you get a chance to read Lagoonfire....)
I actually read Lagoonfire the day my preorder arrived at Porter Square Books! I evidently just failed to say anything about it at the time. (So I see why you said that, indeed.)
--I want this on a T-shirt! ... although I'm not sure I can bring myself to be sarcastic to camels, but maybe! If it will entitle me to wear the T-shirt.
Hee. If it helps, I am given to understand that camels are pretty sarcastic themselves.
What a wonderful way to spend some time this evening. Thank you again, truly.
You're welcome! Thank you for telling me, wonderfully.

It's something I rather strongly believe in.
GOD that is beautiful.
