Nature
again may cover up the earth and circling sea
and all the spangles of the painted sky.
No longer will the Sun, leader of stars,
raise his eternal torch and usher in
the seasons, pointing out the proper times
for summer and winter. The Moon, whose light reflects
the flames of Phoebus, will no longer take
terror from night, beating her brother's horses
as she runs her shorter race.
The mass of gods
will be heaped away into a single chasm.
– from the tragedy Thyestes by Seneca (ca. 4 BC-AD 65) in a new English translation by Emily Wilson (Oxford University Press, 2010)
