Snipped out again, just for the hell of it.


"Nemesis, winged one that tips the scales of life,
dark-eyed goddess, daughter of Justice,

Sorry, but Nemesis was the daughter of Night.

And Zeus. Don't you go messing about with my religion. Whatever happened
to all
that freedom of religion in America?


you restrain the futile pride of mortals with your unyielding bridle
and,
hating hurtful vanity, destroy black envy: below your wheel,
always moving but leaving no trace, the fortune of man turns.

On the contrary, she heaped out misfortune on all humans. Nobody
could escape her unfair portions.

She takes good care of me. Don't you go calling my Goddess unfair. She
knows
what She is doing, but She works in mysterious ways.

Unseen, you come at once to defeat arrogance;
by your hand you gauge the span of life, and, frowning,
you scrutinise the thoughts of men, you always hold the balance.
Be merciful, hallowed judge, winged Nemesis, life's force.

We honour you, Nemesis, immortal goddess,

victory incarnate with wings unfurled, faultless,
sharing the throne of Justice; you resent human vanity
and banish men to Tartarus below"

She wasn't winged, I don't believe.

She wasn't at first, but she acquired them through love. Don't you know
anything? My Nemesis has got wings, and She is doing just fine.

Thanks for admitting that you know as little about mythology as
you do about geopolitics, life, food, wimmen, shoelaces, anything.

What would you know about Her? You don't know Her like I do. Hey, maybe just
like Bush talks to his god, my Goddess talks to me? Hey, I'm just asking
politely, you understand.
