Cursum Perficio
By Enya
Cursum perficio.
Verbum sapienti:
quo plus habent,
eo plus cupiunt.
Post nubila, Phoebus.
Eternum.
Cursum perficio = my journey ends here...
Verbum sapienti = a word to the wise;
Quo plus habent = the more one has,
eo plus cupiunt = the more one desires...
Post nubila, Phoebus = after the clouds (or dark), the light (or sun)...
Eternum = forever...
Phoebus is the Roman god of sunlight, prophecy, music, and poetry—the Greek Apollo
"Cursum Perficio" may be an allusion to Marylin Monroe. The words cursum perficio
were written on inlaid tiles at the front door of the last home Monroe lived in and where
she died. The tiles were there when Monroe purchased the home, which, as it turned
out, was quite prophetic given the translation being, "my journey ends here."
