Art: "Hyacinthe change en fleur" by Nicolas-Rene Jollain (1769)

I've chosen December 1st, World AIDS Day, to observe the Hyacinthia and honor our ancestors who perished from that horrible disease. For me, the story of Apollo and his beloved Hyacinthus perfectly encapsulates the tragedy of the epidemic, when so many lives and loves were lost unwittingly.

"…'Sparta's son, you have been cheated,' Phoebus cries; 'you've lost the flower of your youth; as I confront your wound, I witness my own crime---my guilt, my grief! It's my right hand that has inscribed your end: I am the author of your death. And yet, what crime is mine? Can play, can sport be blamed? Can having loved be called a fault? If I could only pay for what I've done by dying for or with you---you are one so worthy! But the law of fate denies that chance to me. Yet I shall always have you, Hyacinthus, in my heart, just as your name shall always be upon my lips. The lyre my fingers pluck, the songs I chant, shall celebrate you; and as a new flower, you'll bear, inscribed upon you, my lament…'"

Ovid, "Metamorphoses", Book X, translated by Allen Mandelbaum
