Impia tortorum langas hic turba furores
Sanguinis innoculi, non satiata, aluit.
Sospite nunc patria, fracto nunc funeris antro,
Mors ubi dira fuit vita salusque patent.
And
Nullus enim locus sine genio est.
Servius
Aaack! Sorry, I should have posted that I thought it was Latin in the title of the thread. I hate overly vauge thread titles. At least it gives me a reason to use the new smiley :smack:
I’m not familiar enough with Latin authors to know which “Servius” that Google brings up would be the “Servius” responsible for that tag line. All that comes up is the Poe story.
“The impious crowd, not satisfied, here nourishes long furies on innocent blood. Sustain now, fatherland, the cave of death having been broken. Where death was fierce, life and salvation are manifest.”
“There is no place without its guardian spirit” Servius said it.
The impious crowd, not satisfied, here nourishes long furies on innocent blood. Sustain now, fatherland, the cave of death having been broken. Where death was fierce, life and salvation are manifest.
The opening poem from ‘The Pit and the Pendulum’ E.A. Poe. (Not written in very strict Latin, BTW)
