The holy heaven yearns to wound the earth, and yearning layeth hold on the earth to join in wedlock the rain, fallen from the amorous heaven, impregnates the earth, and it bringeth forth for mankind the food of flocks and herds and Demeter's gifts and from that moist marriage-rite the woods put on their bloom.
