    Arguably three (or is it four?) of the best known words in all literature. Can you crack the code? Leave a message if you can - but not the answer please. Have fun!

    The Greek term for butterfly is 'psyche', which also means 'soul'. Psyche is also the name of a girl with butterfly wings who married the God of love, Cupid, in the story by Apuleius. I love her Lego incarnation!

    papilio 🦋 is the Latin word for butterfly. The name relates to the verb palpitare which means ‘to flutter’. There are several theories for the English ‘butterfly’, one being an old Anglo-Saxon belief that the colourful insects liked to steal milk and whey.

    Primus dies anni novi. Omnia silent caligine involuta. Viae desertae sunt. Tantum Phantasmata noctis adhuc vagant.

    Tomorrow (hic in Australia saltem) is the first day of January MMXIX. ‘mensis Ianuarius’ takes its name from the two-faced god Ianus. Ianus is - appropriately - the god of gates and new beginnings. The Latin word ianua (door) derives from his name, as does the English ‘janitor’.
