  • Virgil Quote #29

    The seeds of life - fiery is their force, divine their birth, but they are weighed down by the bodies' ills or dulled by limbs and flesh that's born for death. That is the source of all men's fears and longings, joys and sorrows, nor can they see the heaven's light, shut up in the body's tomb, a prison dark and deep.

  • Virgil Quote #30

    The signs of the old flame, I know them well.
    I pray that the earth gape deep enough to take me down
    or the almighty Father blast me with one bolt to the shades,
    the pale, glimmering shades in hell, the pit of night,
    before I dishonor you, my conscience, break your laws.
