Your allusions to Pan are interesting; he was the god of shepherds and flocks, of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music, and the companion of the nymphs. The last phrase "grieves lost time" is a great "dismount."bob.fiorellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467645651262666895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-6430580173286259002010-09-16T06:41:09.040-04:002010-09-16T06:41:09.040-04:00Libramoon,
