Virgil

Virgil (Roman poet, 70-19 BCE)

"Rumor, quicksilver afoot
and swift on the wing, a monster, horriffic, huge
and under every feather on her body--what a marvel--
an eye that never sleeps and as many tongues as eyes
and as many raucous mouths and ears pricked up for news."
  • From Virgil's The Aeneid (Book four), translated by Robert Fagles (Penguin Classics, 2010)
