OPTIMISM Flashcards
He will rage great war in Italy
and crush it’s fierce tribes
The walls he builds will be the walls of Mars and
he shall give his own name to the people, the Romans
“Augustus Caesar, Son of a god,
the man who will bring back the golden years to the fields of Latium
Rejoicing at the things pictured on it without knowing what they were
Aeneas lifted onto his shoulder the fame and fate of his decendents
Priam cried loud for the death of Hector,
huddled at the feet of Achilles, and Achilles cried for his own father”
Glorious Hector took the helmet straight from his head
and laid it gleaming bright on the ground
“He took Ascanius in an
armed embrace and kissed him lightly through the helmet”
“Have no fear, men of Troy. Put
every anxious thought out of your hearts”
“Why could I not have fallen to your right hand
and breathed out my life on the plains of Troy”
