Of Mercury "Littlewinged"

Littlewinged his cap
his sandals, his staff fair
For a God must fly,
propelled and borne all his flight;
wings the speed of divine might.

speed--success or what causes success

Although he appears to be in retrograde at the moment! --and I am feeling the effect of that even more than most because Mercury was in my "Sun" sun sign at the time of my birth! For me, the retrograde can be a mixed blessing!

Neat little poem!
