May I Offer You A Tiny Sketch Of Virgil And Dante During These Trying Times…

“So the twain bethought them of their dead, and wept; the one for man-slaying Hector wept sore, the while he grovelled at Achilles’ feet, but Achilles wept for his own father, and now again for Patroclus; and the sound of their moaning went up through the house.”

[translation by Augustus Taber Murray]
