Virgil on Death
← Back to Virgil Profile
“Irreameabilis unda.
The wave from which there is no return [the river Styx].”
“Venit summa dies et ineluctabile tempus.
The supreme day has come and the inevitable hour.”
“Vixi, et quem dederat cursum fortuna, peregi: Et nunc magna mei sub terras currit imago.
I have lived, and I have run the course which fortune allotted me; and now my shade shall descend illustrious to the grave.”
