Why reel I thus, confused and blind?
What madness mars my sober mind?

Virgil

They change their savage mind,
Their wildness lose, and, quitting nature's part,
Obey the rules and discipline of art.

Virgil

Know, first, that heaven, and earth's compacted frame,
And flowing waters, and the starry flame,
And both the radiant lights, one common soul
Inspires and feeds, and animates the whole.
This active mind, infused thro' all the space,
Unites and mingles with the mighty mass.

Virgil

O impotence of man's frail mind
To fate and to the future blind,
Presumptuous and o'erweening still
When Fortune follows at its will!

Virgil

Virgil

The spirit within nourishes, and mind instilled throughout the living parts activates the whole mass and mingles with the vast frame.

Virgil

Time bears away all things, even our minds.

Virgil

Dismiss these anxieties from your mind.

Virgil

The gods, if gods to goodness are inclined;
If acts of mercy touch their heavenly mind,
And, more than all the gods, your generous heart.
Conscious of worth, requite its own desert!

Virgil
