Clotho (/ˈkloʊθoʊ/; Greek: Κλωθώ) is the youngest of the Three Fates or Moirai – including her sisters Lachesis and Atropos, in ancient Greek mythology. Her Roman equivalent is Nona. Clotho was responsible for spinning the thread of human life. She also made major decisions, such as when a person was born, thus in effect controlling people's lives. This power enabled her not only to choose who was born, but also to decide when gods or mortals were to be saved or put to death. For example, when Pelops was killed and boiled by his father, it was Clotho who brought him back to life.
As one of the three fates her contribution to mythology was immense. Clotho, along with her sisters and Hermes, was given credit for creating the alphabet for their people. Even though Clotho and her sisters were real goddesses, their representation of fate is more focused upon in Greek mythology. Thread represented human life and her decisions represented the fate of all people in society.
According to Hesiod's Theogony, Clotho and her sisters (Atropos and Lachesis) were the daughters of Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx (Night), though later in the same work (ll. 901-906) they are said to have been born of Zeus and Themis. Clotho is also mentioned in the tenth book of the Republic of Plato as the daughter of Necessity. In Roman mythology it was believed that she was daughter of Uranus and Gaia.
Bitis is a genus of venomous vipers found in Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula. It includes the largest and the smallest vipers in the world. Members are known for their characteristic threat displays that involve inflating and deflating their bodies while hissing and puffing loudly. The type species for this genus is B. arietans, which is also the most widely distributed viper in Africa. Currently, 14 species are recognized.
Members of the genus are commonly known as African adders,African vipers, or puff adders.
Size variation within this genus is extreme, ranging from the very small B. schneideri, which grows to a maximum of 28 centimetres (11 in) and is perhaps the world's smallest viperid, to the very large B. gabonica, which can attain a length of over 2 metres (6.6 ft) and is the heaviest viper in the world.
All have a wide, triangular head with a rounded snout, distinct from the neck, and covered in small, keeled, imbricate scales. The canthus is also distinct. A number of species have enlarged rostral or supraorbital scales that resemble horns. Their eyes are relatively small. They have large nostrils that are directed outwards and/or upwards. Up to six rows of small scales separate the rostral and nasal scales. All species have a well-developed supranasal sac. The fronts of the maxillary bones are very short, supporting only one pair of recurved fangs.
[verse 1]
we were from different cities on the same block
grew up in different circles in the same spot
like raindrops we fall in love giving our all
showing her ring off like a player at the ball
i recall the walls that i had up
attracted to women for things that didn't matter
ka-clow boom pop! sound of my heart when it drop
the night that i met her, it might be forever
i hear people saying that they like us together
i ain't afraid to gamble when life is getting better
with you, i admit i had issues
like ebony, your essence, your pedigree, your presence
it's more than clothes can say for you
when i shop i gotta spend more than a day for you
i pray for you and us, that we imbue through lust
and accrue the trust, let's shake off the dust from the cloth
[hook]
oh you're worried about when people stop and stare
that's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear
cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear
but that's just a tear because girl i can get you fresh
la la la la, la la la la
[verse 2]
this is tailor-made love, fit like a snug
anything we can bear so let's have some cubs
you were there when my cuz passed away
not only does love, but life hatches day
i appreciate the hugs and the days i breed with you
strong seeds i can see with you, the good word i read with you
looking at things that we've been through
things that seem simple
i know when to go hard and when to be gentle
sentimental laughs and expressions
let's stay in the present, no time for second guessing
you said it's this cloth that makes you feel naked
the truth we address it, that's so unexpected
yeah that's the thread that helps us move ahead
your hunger for affection will always be fed
thank god we never sped and let love take it's course
because what's inside of us, no need to outsource
the cloth
[hook]
[verse 3]
hey lover we can cover each other
through the coldest nights, tight never smother
it's two things that seems to hold us together
god is our tailor and forever
it's two things that seems to hold us together
god is our tailor and forever
it's two things that seems to hold us together
god is our tailor and forever
it's the cloth
