Virgil

As the twig is bent the tree inclines.

Death plucks my ears and says, "Live - I am coming."

They can because they think they can.

We are not all capable of everything.
- All from Virgil, 70 - 19 BC

About: The poet and storyteller Publius Vergilius Maro was born on this day in 70 BC at Andes, a village near Mantua, Italy. His father could afford an extensive education for the man we know simply as Virgil. Most of his writing career was spent on rustic poetry, but after Octavian came to power he pressured Virgil to write the Aeneid, the complete epic of Roman history. As Homer was the greatest of the Greek poets, Virgil was the greatest Roman poet and covered much of the same material.
