The Aenied Flashcards
learn quotations
I sing of arms
and of the man, fated to be an exile
fierce and unforgetting
anger of Juno
a man famous for his
piety
So heavy was the cost of
founding the Roman race
a sudden chill went through Aeneas and
his limbs grew weak
many, many times more
fortunate than I
I have given them an empire
that will know no end
the dread gates of war with their tight
fastenings of steel will then be closed
godless strife will sit inside the on his
murderous armour roaring hideously from bloody mouth
her hair was unbound and
streaming in the wind
your face is not the face
of a mortal
why am I never allowed to take you hand in mine, to hear
your true voice and speak to you as you really are?
the goddess spread a great
veil of cloud over them
the hive seethes
with activity
there are tears for suffering and men’s hearts are touched
by what man has to bear
queen dido in all her
beauty… she was like diana
His own mother had breathed upon her
son and given beauty to his hair and the sparkle of joy to his eyes
Dido takes you happily on to her
lap and gives you sweet kisses, and you can then breathe fire and poison into her and she will not know
doomed to be the victim of a
plague
doomed
dido
my mind recoiled in anguish when you asked and I
shudder to remember
the creatures womb quivered and the hollow carverns
boomed and groaned
o you poor
fools!
Cunning and false
tears had overcome the men who had not been subdued… not by ten years of siege
(storm) men shouted,
ropes screamed
(Carthage) they were like
bees at the beginning of summer
Aeneas saw a strange sight which for the first
time allayed his fears
our king is aeneas
He had no equal for his piety and his care
but who could fail to know
about the people of Aeneas and his ancestory
unmarried girls and boys sang hyms around it and
rejoiced to have a hand on the rope
gliding
smoothly
you must escape
son of a goddess. you must save yourself from these flames
Frenzy and anger
drove me on and suddenly it seemed a noble thing to die in arms
like a ancient ash tree
high in the mountains…blow upon blow…threatens to fall…dying groan
