Synopsis

Excerpt from Masters of the World, Vol. 1 of 3 Vergil's sepulchre. "Maroneique sedens in imargine templiSumo auimum." Vergil's sepulchre stands in a garden. It was a garden eighteen hundred years ago, and the peasant who owned it made a great favour of permitting persons to come and pay their respects to the dead. There were many who came, hut oftenest of all, two poets, who lived not far off - old Silius Italicus, who always devoutly kept Vergil's birthday, and young Statins, who loved to write his verses near the tomb, and get inspiration there. Had ever poet such a sepulchre before? The laughing bay he loved so well lies but just below the rock. The sunny hills rise all round, except where Capri, like a tender-tinted cloud, hangs on the purple waters.
