- move; stir; shake
Meaning
A fire-bearing flash shakes the whole earth at XLVII.4; Dionysus stirs dances in revolving seasons at LIII.7. Movement can thus be violent disturbance or energized celebration. The verb itself does not make the dance destructive merely because the same word describes an earthquake-like event.
