Prayers to the Roman Gods: Ceres

One distinction between how we think of nature and how the Romans thought of it, is that we only have Mother Nature, while the Romans had Terra (or Tellus) and Ceres, who represented different aspects of what we call the natural world.  So as Ceres is more focused towards agriculture - 'developed' nature, if you will - I made her prayer something you might expect a farmer to say.


Nolo Terram Incendere

Surprisingly enough, I didn't translate this one because I like Fallout.  It's because it was the next song with words on my playlist in Winamp.  And it was on my playlist in the first place... because I like Fallout.


Doctoris Oratio ab "Linea Plana"

I have to admit, this is one Doctor you don't want to have angry at you.  He's got a lot of repressed anger, hasn't he?

At the Gala - Dead Money Edition

I had the idea for this while rewatching FiMFlamFilosophy's Let's Play of Fallout: New Vegas, and figured I might as well do it.  Original song by Daniel Ingram et al., Dead Money © Bethesda, etc., etc.


Prayers to the Roman Gods: Tellus

No, I haven't forgotten about these.  I've just been busy, is all.

Excerptum ab 'Honor Reginae'

Just a bit of Latin practice I did over the weekend.  Got it from the front of the book in question (Honor of the Queen, by David Weber), actually.
