Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis Aeneidos Liber III: Edited With English Notes The more such similes are studied, the richer light is thrown on the comparison: they are not, like Vergil´s, poetic miniature pictures to be enjoyed independently; they are profound luminous resemblances, a permanent addition to our fancy and insight, for which we are grateful to the higher gifts of the poet. I have said so much, to make it clear, that what Vergil aims at in his similes is something quite different (and in one sense far less) than what the modern poet (especially the lyric poet) aspires to: for in order to appreciate the true poetic success of Vergil, it is clearly necessary to understand his object, and so avoid the mistake of judging him by an erroneous standard. The third book, though less interesting and important as a whole than any of the first six, is artistically placed as a relief between the two highly wrought tragedies of the Fall of Troy in the Second, and the Love and desertion of Dido in the Fourth. And though there are no passages of the sustained beauty and sublimity such as those which describe the night attack on Troy, the love of Dido, or the glories of the Rome to be, which are foretold by Anchises, there is a good deal of variety and force in the narrative of adventure. Thus the story of the murdered Polydorus (20-60), of the plague in Crete (135-145), of the Storm at sea (196-204), of the Harpies (220-250), of Scylla and Charybdis (420 sqq.), of the eruption of Aetna (570 sqq.), are all effectively told.
