Homer
There is nothing worse for mortals than a wandering life.
Homer
The Grecian ladies counted their age from their marriage, not their birth.
Homer
Two diverse gates there are of bodiless dreams, These of sawn ivory, and those of horn. Such dreams as issue where the ivory gleams Fly without fate, and turn our hopes to scorn. But dreams which issue through the burnished horn, What man soe'er beholds them on his bed, These work with virtue and of truth are born.
Homer
