Source on Aeneas

“Virgil, the one whom the professors call the swan of Mantua, certainly because that is not where he was born, appeared to him as one of the most unbearable nuisances that antiquity has ever produced, as well as one of the most terrible pedants . His shepherds all neat and dressed up, who take turns inundating each other with sentient and cold verses, his Orpheus whom he compares to a nightingale in tears, his Aristaeus who whimpers about bees, his Aeneas, character indecisive and inconstant who moves like a Chinese shadow, with wooden gestures, behind the transparent and poorly oiled poem, exasperated him. (Joris-Karl Huysmans)”

“Aeneas remained clear, he too | of clarity and appearance and stature, | who showed himself as a God: and well to Goddess | he was a son, who is a mother of beauty. | He was breathing from his eyes and from his hair those clear, happy and youthful honors | which she herself, his mother, instilled in him. (book I)”

“I can tell you the truth, | My Anna, since what death is the wicked friar | deprive me of Sicheus, who alone moved him | my senses and my heart, and only in him | I know the signs of the ancient flame. Agnosco veteris vestigia flammae on Wikipedia. ([[Didone] ]: book IV)”

“Aeneas, divine lineage, | May Troy bring it back from its enemies and you revive it and keep it eternal; | or from me, from Laurenti and from Latini | already long awaited with so much hope, | this is your home, this is safe- | mind, don't stop, the fatal seat | that is promised to you. The threats and the cry | do not fear war. All hatred, all anger | already ceases from the celestials. (Tiberinus: book VIII)”

“Aeneas as soon as he sees him | quickly moves towards them. And he was motionless of courage and body waiting for him | it stands as a pillar founded and solid in itself. His Mole stat on Wikipedia. (book”

“And as for' gifts, go, | bring them back to you, and the great Aeneas nor presented. And only me believe | of the valor of him, that I was with him in the face | with weapons in hand; and I know about shield and spear | which he gave me a good account of, and how valuable. ( Latin: book XI)”

“Aeneas alone with Hector | was the reason for so much delay | the ruin of Troy, and that ten years | we managed to conquer it. Both of these | they were of equal heart, strength and weapons, | but the greater Aeneas was very pitiful. (Latin: book XI)”

“Aeneas, author of the Roman lineage, | with her celestial weapons and shield | who had come from the stars earlier, | I went out on the other side, and with me on equal terms | Ascanio, her son, of the great Rome | the second hope. Magnae spesalter Romae on Wikipedia. (book XII)”
