Fervent bella horrida, fervent ossibus inclusa fremit et discordibus armis non simplex natura hominis.

War rages, horrid war
Even in our bones; our double nature sounds
With armèd discord.
— Psychomachia, line 902; translation from C. S. Lewis The Allegory of Love (London: Oxford University Press, [1936] 1975) p. 72.
