Her day
Venus for Romans, Aphrodite for Greeks, Freia for Germans, much admired goddess of love still brings us week-end joy on Venerdi, Vendredi, Freitag or Friday afternoon almost 15 centuries after our ancestors expelled her, together with other ancient gods from their temples and basilicas into paper and marble, myths and stories.
Hail Venus, bringer of joy!
Hail Venus, destroyer of Troy.
You know, deity, as a young boy learning about you, your affair with that handsome god of war and your children, I was wondering how Love could bring life to things like Horror and Fear. It took me quite a long time to figure it out.
And, as good old Freddie would say: “It’s so easy!”
The paralyzing fear of losing the one you love and the horror of not being loved (any more or at all) cannot be felt and understood before you actually fell in love.
Love. Yap, if sex is a crime, you ought to be a punishment. Even handless, you leave us headless, goddess...
