One of the most remarkable endings to a book ever written- the Epilogue to Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’. It is a book in which I have invested many hours at various periods of this short life of mine. Yet I realise that my time spent reading it is as nothing compared to that of the vast community of readers which has kept it constantly transforming into words, pictures, ideas in their minds for generation upon generation throughout the millennia since it was first conceived, keeping Ovid alive in his fame.
