Spring wakens the birds’ voices, but for me

My 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.
