Virgil (c. 70-19 BCE)
“It’s true—you keep your eye on the fleet-footed sun
and any run of the moons, and dawn won’t take you by surprise,
nor tricks of cloudless night catch you off guard.”
- From Virgil’s Georgics (Book 1, approximately lines 424-426), translated by Peter Fallon (The Gallery Press, 2004, and later Oxford World Classics, 2006, 2009).
