Today's Stichomancy for Igor Stravinsky

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Golden Sayings of Epictetus by Epictetus:

Of pleasures, those which occur most rarely give the most delight.

XII

Exceed due measure, and the most delightful things become the least delightful.

XIII

The anger of an ape--the threat of a flatterer:--these deserve equal regard.

XIV

Chastise thy passions that they avenge not themselves upon
