Spring wakens the birds’ voices, but for meMy Saint’s day is my spring, and in its light
. . . .
And what gay voices, so I know the day
Year after year that is St. Felix’ Feast,
And know the springtime of my year is come,
And sing him a new song.

In 524, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius, ex-consul and Roman senator, died by order of Theodoric under torture in the dungeon of Pavia in his forty-fifth year. He had been Theodoric’s most trusted counselor; Theodoric had looked up to him with the admiration of the great barbarians for the Romans who were politically their servants and spiritually their lords.
