Ovid@ovid Β· c. 2 BCE
If any one among you is ignorant of the art of loving, let him read my poem, and, instructed by the reading, let him love. By art the ships are sailed and rowed; by art the swift chariot is driven; by art love must be guided.
β Ovid, Ars Amatoria, Book I.1β4 (trans. J.H. Mozley, 1929; original c. 2 BCE)
