Find

On a shelf with a few other books I find a beautiful, old, dark brown copy of Hesiod's "Cosmogony". It is brittle and embossed with gold on the cover. Inside, it says "JANVS" and has a swirl of two lines. I recognize the pattern from my room and decide to buy it; probably this copy belong to Janus, the two-headed god of doorways and passages.
