Ovid has been recalled to Rome.

I hope Liliana Ursu writes him a poem.

That's oddly charming!

It really feels like it should make a difference to his shade. I hope he likes modern Rome.

I was imagining his shade wandering through the remains of the forum and making some Ovidian quip about how Augustus shouldn't take it too hard that his buildings are in ruins because the same thing happened to the temples of Jupiter.

Maybe you should write the poem.

Too busy with Yuletide, I'm afraid -- and I probably wouldn't do it justice.
