Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram, Perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna.
virgil— Along the illimitable shade
Darkling and lone their way they made,
Through the vast kingdom of the dead,
An empty void, though tenanted.Lines 268–269 (translated by John Conington).Cf. Dryden's translation:
Obscure they went through dreary shades, that led
Along the waste dominions of the dead.
Exilioque domos et dulcia limina mutant Atque alio patriam quærunt sub sole jacentem.
— And for exile they change their homes and pleasant thresholds, and seek a country lying beneath another sun.
— Virgil, Georgics (c. 29 BC), Book II. 511.
