Propertius, Elegiae 1, 19, 12.
Mighty love even supersedes death's coasts. |
|
Alciato, Emblemata 160.
fEen wijnrank, bedekt met groene bladeren, heeft een olm, verdord van ouderdom en zonder bladeren. Door zijn voorbeeld raakt
hij ons aan liefdes te zoeken van wie de liefdesband zelfs niet door de dood wordt verbroken. |
|
Alciato, Emblemata 160.
A vine, covered in vibrant greenery, has embraced an elm, dry with age and even stripped of foliage. And so by example it
counsels us to seek out loves whose pact of friendship is not broken even by death. |
