Gilbert Highet
“Vergil preferred to give a few touches, and to allow the imagination of his readers to fill out the picture: that is one reason for his almost universal appeal. He changes each of his readers into a poet or an artist.”

John Erskine
“In the Fourth Eclogue also Vergil has still the enthusiasm of youth. Few poems are so rich in magnificent lines or in stirring hopes... His hope is for a golden age in which there shall be no toil, no commerce, no sorrow, yet he still wants a high development of the intellectual life, the speculations of science, the practical application of knowledge.”
John Erskine, The Delight of Great Books

Dante Alighieri
“O anima cortese mantoana
Di cui la fama ancor nel mondo dura,
E durera quanto 'l moto lontana”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso

Dante Alighieri
“Tu se' lo mio maestro e 'l mio autore,
tu se' solo colui da cu' io tolsi
lo bello stilo che m'ha fatto onore.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso

Dante Alighieri
“Rispuosemi: "Non omo, omo già fui,
e li parenti miei furon lombardi,
mantoani per patrïa ambedui.

Nacqui sub Iulio, ancor che fosse tardi,
e vissi a Roma sotto ’l buono Augusto
nel tempo de li dèi falsi e bugiardi.

Poeta fui, e cantai di quel giusto
figliuol d’Anchise che venne di Troia,
poi che ’l superbo Ilïón fu combusto.”
Dante Alighieri
