Auspice from the Etruscan Augur


From your friendly neighborhood Etruscan augur.

I heard not a bird today.

The sky was hidden by clouds to earth have fallen as a wary mist.

So now begins my words to mark today's occasion:

My Auspice for the 20170120 Inauguration

Upon the morning there blows a golden sigh -

Silent wings that doubt the clouds so high - The sun which warms the day as words pronounce a solemn gift - Which we embrace as pushing away with want of greatness be - Again, imagine fine the talons which four winters are a clutching - Through which the grains escape, weak fingers barely touching -
