Virgil Quote

We sighted, far away, dim hills and a low coast-line,
Italy. Achates was the first to hail, 'Italy!'
'Italy!' my comrades echoed in cheerful greeting.

Aeneid bk. 3, l. 522 (translated by C. Day Lewis)

We sighted, far away, dim hills and a low coast-line, Italy. Achates was the first to hail, 'Italy!' 'Italy!' my comrades echoed in cheerful greeting.
