Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Virgil and Isaiah: A Study of the Pollio With Translations, Notes and Appendices This book is based on a lecture delivered to the Manchester Branch of the Classical Association in December, 1914. The writing and publication of it have been delayed about three years by ill-health and other causes; but perhaps three years of the Great War have speeded the pen as they have speeded the plough, and made it easier to write, if not easier to read. It was written ´procul discordibus armis´ (save for an occasional aeroplane droning high overhead) at the quiet limit of three converging counties - Cheshire, Shropshire, and Flintshire - and within sight of the blue mountains that brood over the lovely Vale of Llangollen and the River Dee: ´Flumina amem silvasque inglorius´ (Georg, ii. 486). Here are great herds of dairy cows, ´et pressi copia lactis.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
