Igloria March 3 | In a total solar eclipse, the sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk as the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. Ekleipsis: an abandonment, a failing, a forsaking, The moon's shadow obscures the face of the Sun, and birds and other animals grow quiet. The temperature drops and age-old fears arc overhead—a dragon is swallowing the light, so we bang on drums or shoot flaming arrows into its clouded eye. Herodotus wrote in the sixth century of Lydians and Medeans negotiating a peace treaty to end a six-year war. In the middle of a solar eclipse, Imagine armies dropping their weapons, rendered speechless by this greater darkness. | | | |
