Today June 7, Vestalia starts.

Vesta was celebrated at the Vestalia which took place from June 7 to June 15. On the first day of the festivities the penus Vestae (the curtained sanctum sanctorum of her temple) was opened, for the only time during the year, at which women offered sacrifices.

"She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed"

I don't think the American "leaving for the coast" were vestal virgins... none of my business though to check.

Was thinking Willie had a song with virgins in it... not sure

the thinking took me to 7 Spanish Angels ( from 16 vestal virgins)
