I'm an amateur, self-taught, and a slooow reader.  But I came across a line
last night that stopped me dead:  "oculisque errantibus alto / quaesivit
caelo lucem ingemuitque reperta."  (4.691-2)  I don't know why it strikes me
so, but it does; so haunting and beautiful.  Just wanted to share that this
morning... thanks for your time.  Christopher in Michigan.
