the inauguration.

ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μου̂σα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ
πλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν...

Or perhaps more suited to me [if you'll forgive the unforgivable typesetting]:

धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः ।
मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत संजय ॥१-१॥

Or, best of all [though, as far as literature goes, not so much]:

ΕΝ ΑΡΧΗ ἠ̂ν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἠ̂ν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἠ̂ν ὁ λόγος. Οὑ̂τος ἠ̂ν ἐν ἀρχῃ̂ πρὸς τὸν θεόν. πάντα δι' αὐτου̂ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτου̂ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν. ὃ γέγονεν ἐν αὐτῳ̂ ζωὴ ἠ̂ν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἠ̂ν τὸ φω̂ς τω̂ν ἀνθρώπων: καὶ τὸ φω̂ς ἐν τῃ̂ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.

Or perhaps:

᾽Εν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ ϑεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος καὶ ἀκατασκεύαστος, καὶ σκότος ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου, καὶ πνεῦμα ϑεοῦ ἐπεϕέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ϑεός Γενηϑήτω ϕῶς. καὶ ἐγένετο ϕῶς.

Good night everybody.
