I love that line too; it's a wonderful reading.

This was the first piece of real Greek I ever read, halfway through my first semester; when I had learned enough to realize, re-reading The Mask of Apollo, that the translation at the front looked nothing like literal. And we had just studied participles and therefore there was no grammar in this epigram that I didn't know already, so I read it; and it made me happy. It still does. I'm glad you like.

Excellent icon choice, though it's of a nasty evil culture-stealing Roman. :)

But such a lovely example of the species! : )
