Virgil

« All quotes from this author
 

Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram,
Perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna.
--
Along the illimitable shade Darkling and lone their way they made, Through the vast kingdom of the dead, An empty void, though tenanted.
--
Lines 268-269 (translated by John Conington)
