Diana
Goddess of virginity, of purity and freedom,
roaming in the wilderness to care for nature,
favouring all animals and hunting with them,
you became the basis for all ancient mysticism
with shrines in every sacred grove
for the sanctification and respect of life,
the queen of virtue and the mistress of integrity,
you were indomitable and inviolable
as the guardian supreme of health and freedom.
Nothing is more holy than Dame Nature,
and you were her impersonification
and will eternally remain so,
an ideal of chaste and sovereign liberty
commanded by respect and discipline
in the supreme imperishable beauty of superiority
in health and soundness, sport and perfect freedom.
Poetry by Christian Lanciai
