Girolamo da Carpi - Chance and Penitence

‘Opportunity, infrequent, and known to few.’
‘Why are you standing on a wheel?’
‘I can’t stand still.’
‘Why have you got winged sandals?’
‘I am very swift. Whenever I want, I hand over the good fortune which Mercury customarily creates.’
‘You cover your face with your hair.’
‘I don’t want to be recognised.’
‘But, good heavens, the back of your head is bald!’
‘So I can’t be caught as I make off.’
‘Who is the companion with you?’
‘Let her tell you.’
‘Please tell me who you are.’
‘I am a goddess to whom even Cicero himself did not give a name. I am the goddess who exacts punishment for what has and has not been done, so that people regret it. Hence my name is Metanoea.’
‘Now you again please, tell me what she is doing with you.’
‘Whenever I’ve flown away, she stays behind me. Those whom I’ve passed by hold on to her. You too, while you’re asking all these questions procrastinating with your interrogation, will discover that I have slipped through your hands.’

Metanoia resides in the wake of opportunity, sowing regret and inspiring repentance in the missed moment. It is "a reflective act in which a person returns to a past event in order to see it anew"
Metanoia ‘is seldom a function of the intellect alone’.
Importantly, in the Liddell and Scott lexicon metanoia is described as a "change of mind and heart". Acknowledging the presence of the ‘heart’ in metanoia highlights the mind-body partnership at work in the concept. In metanoia, mind and body, feeling and intellect, collaborate in creating new knowledge and perspective.

Verkorting van ouder despijt ‘smaad, minachting’ [ca. 1350; MNW], ‘spijt, wrok’ [ca. 1400; MNW], dat ontleend is aan Oudfrans despit ‘wrok’ [1160-74; TLF] en ‘minachting’ [1140; TLF] (Nieuwfrans dépit) < Latijn dēspectus ‘minachting’, afleiding van het ww. dēspicere ‘neerkijken op, minachten’; dat ww. is gevormd met het voorvoegsel dē- ‘vanaf, vanuit’, zie → de-, bij het ww. specere ‘zien, kijken’, verwant met → spieden.
