O barbarous Corsica* locked in by crags,
Rugged and vast where endless deserts stretch,
Fall brings no fruit, and summertime no crops,
Fall brings no fruit, and summertime no crops,
No Attic olives bend the winter's branch;
From rainy spring no new births lure a smile,
And no grass grows on this ill-omened earth;
No bread, no taste of water, no fire in hearth:
Only two things – the exiled and exile.
– Seneca (4 BC-AD 65), translated by J.P. Sullivan (1991)
*the Emperor Claudius exiled Seneca to Corsica, AD 41-49
