Virgil Death Quotations

It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.

I have lived, and I have run the course which fortune allotted me; and now my shade shall descend illustrious to the grave.

Is it then so sad a thing to die?

These passions of soul, these conflicts so fierce, will cease, and be repressed by the casting of a little dust.

To have died once is enough.
