quare id faciam?

12/24/2006

'Quare id faciam' is a bit I snagged, without much thought, from 2 lines of verse likely known to anyone who's had a little Latin in school. I borrowed it years ago, looking for a username no one else would want.

And it grew on me. Taken out of its context, it's altered — the tense blurs & its sense may allow, Why will I do it, or, Why will I make it? — suggestive and intertwining questions, as I take them.
