Are we careening into the Holidays? Sliding? Gliding gracefully? Or, what Holiday? Glad to know there is still a place that celebrates Saturnalia, albeit in a modern, toned-down version: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-67680824
We are nostalgic for Saturnalia. So maybe a poem from a lover of Saturnalia, Catullus:
Falernian Wine
Serving-boy fill for me stronger cups
of old Falernian, since the laws of Postumia,
the mistress, demand it,
she who’s juicier then the juicy grape.
But you water, fatal to wine, away with you:
far off, wherever, be off to the strict.
This wine is Bacchus’s own.
