Hi All,
I would like to translate this poem by W. H. Auden into Latin:
http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/roman-wall-blues-2/
What i would like to do eventually is to turn this into a piece of calligraphy, using the Latin Cursive as used on the Vindolanda written fragments. I am undecided whether i want to do the calligraphy on Papyrus, Parchment or a thin wood slat such as some of the Vindolanda stuff is on.
Any help, especially with the translation, but also suggestions as to materials would be greatly appreciated.
And, of course when I get this done, I will take pics and post them here.
Thanks in advance,
Steven
