Additional quotes by Archilochus
I pray for one gift: that I might merely touch
Neoboule's hand.
My javelin is good white bread and Ismarian wine.
When I find rest on my javelin I drink wine.
Let the gods take care of everything. Many times
they resurrect a man whom disaster left lying
face down on the black earth. Many times they topple
a man and pin him, back to the soil, though he
was solid on his feet. A multitude of evils
batters him as he wanders hungry and mad.
