O bounding breeze, O rushing seas, At last, at last, unite them there!" * * Clough, Ambarvalia. This is not mere longing; it is prophecy. So over these too, our old friends, who are friends no more, we sorrow not as men without hope.
=Mars.= We have seen reason to believe that in the earlier stages of Roman religion Mars was a numen of vegetation, but though the Ambarvalia was duly taken over into the state-cult and attained a very high degree of importance, yet there can be no doubt that in the state-religion Mars was pre-eminently associated with war.
The Ambarvalia is one of the most picturesque of the field ceremonies, and a peculiarly beautiful and imaginative description of it may be found in the first chapter of Pater's Marius the Epicurean. In June and July the farmer was waiting for the completion of the harvest, and the great state-festivals of the period are not agricultural.
