P. Vergilius Maro, Aeneid (ed. Theodore C. Williams), Book 3, line 675 (search)
clad, Iofty isle the Cyclops' clan, and lined the beach and bay. We saw each lonely eyeball glare in vain, as side by side those brothers Aetna-born stood towering high, a conclave dark and dire: as when, far up some mountain's famous crest, wind-fronting oaks or cone-clad cypresses have made assembling in the solemn hills, Jove's giant wood or Dian's sacred grove. We, terror-struck, would fly we knew not where, with loosened sheet and canvas swelling strong before a welcome wind; but Helenus bade us both Scylla and Charybdis fear, where 'twixt the twain death straitly hems the way; and so the counsel was to veer our bark the course it came. But lo! a northern gale burst o'er us from Pelorus' narrowed side, and on we rode far past Pantagia's bay of unhewn rock, and past the haven strong of Megara, and Thapsus Iying low. Such were the names retold, and such the shores shown us by Achemenides, whose fate made him familiar there, for he had sailed with evil-starred Ulysses o'er that sea.
