Ipsa Suis Pollens Opibus

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 4:20. Camerarius is inspired this time by the pholis fish - φωλίς - which, according to Aristotle, exudes a kind of mucous discharge which serves as a kind of hiding place and home. The pholis is feminine in gender in Greek, hence the feminine speaker of the poem. This pholis fish prefers her own mucous discharge to the ambrosia and nectar of the gods!
