This is what Chesterton called thinking backwards: we have to put ourselves back in time, before the fateful
decisions

from fanciful and unwarranted presuppositions, we are at
liberty to restore the actual, historical Ovid, and we shall be
able to show in the sequel, as I believe, that this great artistic
genius, beginning, just like Catullus, with simple nature and
therefore in some cases with only 37% of dactyls in the distich,

veritably
creating a new language,
such as Ennius and his eager successors achieved only in
part, has been able, in the works of his full maturity, com-
posed after the age of thirty-five, to rise to 57% of dactyls
in the distich.

But it was my lovers,
And not my sleeping sires,
Who gave the flame its changeful
And
iridescent
fires;
As the driftwood burning
Learned its jewelled blaze
From the sea's blue splendor
Of colored nights and days.
