  1. A quotation from Cicero

    But there is in fact nobody who is so hostile to the Muses that he would not readily allow his own deeds to be immortalized in verse.
     
    [Neque enim quisquam est tam aversus a Musis, qui non mandari versibus aeternum suorum laborum facile praeconium patiatur. ]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 9 / sec. 20 (62 BC) [tr. Guinach (1962)]
