Omnia sol temperat *
![]() |
'Spring in Goscieradz' by Leon Wyczółkowski (1852 - 1936) |
| Omnia sol temperat | The sun warms everything, |
| purus et subtilis, | pure and gentle, |
| novo mundo reserat | once again it reveals to the world |
| faciem Aprilis, | April's face, |
| ad amorem properat | the soul of man |
| animus herilis | is urged towards love |
| et iocundis imperat | and joys are governed |
| deus puerilis. | by the boy-god. |
| Rerum tanta novitas | All this rebirth |
| in solemni vere | in spring's festivity |
| et veris auctoritas | and spring's power |
| jubet nos gaudere; | bids us to rejoice; |
| vias prebet solitas, | it shows us paths we know well, |
| et in tuo vere | and in your springtime |
| fides est et probitas | it is true and right |
| tuum retinere. | to keep what is yours. |
| Ama me fideliter, | Love me faithfully! |
| fidem meam noto: | See how I am faithful: |
| de corde totaliter | with all my heart |
| et ex mente tota | and with all my soul, |
| sum presentialiter | I am with you |
| absens in remota, | even when I am far away. |
| quisquis amat taliter, | Whosoever loves this much |
| volvitur in rota. | turns on the wheel. |

I have this exact one in my kitchen and I love it. I keep it by my sink, where I do all my fruit and vegetable cleaning, peeling and chopping, and throw in cores, stems, and rotten bits as well.
This Compost Pail has a tight fitting lid which has 2 charcoal filters hidden inside it, and they do an excellent job at controlling odors and spoilage until your next trip to your outdoor composter. Made of sturdy stainless steel, it's easy to clean and adds a stylish design to your kitchen."
