Искусствоед
Claudius Ptolemaeus
The Astronomer

A mortal I — but when I trace
the planetary paths through space,
no more upon the earth I stand
for I am raised to God's right hand!

(from "Sweet-voiced Sappho. Poems of Sappho and other Ancient Greek Authors translated into English Verse by Theodore Stephanides", 2015)
