Quotations

• Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, de bello civili, liber IX. In: Lucan with an English translation by J. D. Duff; The Civil War Books I–X (Pharsalia), 1962, p. 536f.:

  Temperies vitalis abest, et nulla sub illa
  Cura Iovis terra est ; natura deside torpet
  Orbis et inmotis annum non sentit harenis.

  The temperate air that life needs is not found there, and Jupiter pays no heed to the land ; Nature is inactive ; the lifeless expanse, with sands that are never ploughed, is unconscious of the seasons.

• Publius Papinius Statius, Silvae, liber V. In: Statius with an English translation by J. H. Mozley, vol. I of two volumes, 1928, p. 292f.:

  Iamque alio moliris iter nec deside passu
  ire paras ; nondum validae tibi signa iuventae
  inrepsere genis, et adhuc tenor integer aevi.

  And now thou art planning a journey to other lands, and art preparing to be gone with no sluggish stride ; not yet have the signs of vigorous manhood crept about thy cheeks, blameless still is the tenour of thy life.

• Publius Papinius Statius, Thebais, liber VI. In: Statius with an English translation by J. H. Mozley, vol. II of two volumes, 1928, p. 70f.:

  primitias egomet lacrimarum et caedis acerbae
  ante tubas ferrumque tuli, dum deside cura
  credo sinus fidos altricis et ubera mando.

  Tis I that have borne the first-fruits of grief and untimely death, before even trumpets brayed or sword was drawn, while in indolent neglect I put faith in his nurse's bosom and entrusted to her my babe to suckle.

• Terentianus Maurus, De Syllabis, lines 1282-1286. In: Terentianus Maurus de litteris syllabis pedibus et metris, e recensione et cum notis Laurentii Santenii , 1825, p. 57:

  Forsitan hunc aliquis verbosum dicere librum
  Non dubitet; forsan multo praestantior alter
  Pauca reperta putet, cum plura invenerit ipse.
  Deses et impatiens nimis haec obscura putabit.
  Pro captu lectoris habent sua fata libelli.

  Perhaps someone will not hesitate to call this book wordy; perhaps another person may consider a few findings much better, when he himself has found too much. A lazy and impatient person will consider these things too unclear. Books have their fates according to the reader's ability.
