Rest
Ovid, Heroides 4.89-90 (tr. Grant Showerman):
Newer› ‹Older
That which lacks its alternations of repose will not endure;The Greek translation of Maximus Planudes:
this is what repairs the strength and renews the wearied limbs.
quod caret alterna requie, durabile non est;
haec reparat vires fessaque membra novat.
ᾧ γὰρ ἔνδεια τῆς ἐξ ἀμοιβῆς ἀναπαύλης, οὐκ ἂν διαρκὲς εἴη·
αὔτη τὴν ἰσχὺν ἀνακτᾶται, καὶ τὰ κεκμηκότα μέλη ἀνανεοῖ.
