Auxerat hora metus, iam se vertentis Olympi ut faciem rapto… - Gaius Valerius Flaccus

" "
Auxerat hora metus, iam se vertentis Olympi
ut faciem raptosque simul montesque locosque
ex oculis circumque graves videre tenebras.
ipsa quies rerum mundique silentia terrent
astraque et effusis stellatus crinibus aether;
ac velut ignota captus regione viarum
noctivagum qui carpit iter non aure quiescit,
non oculis, noctisque metus niger auget utrimque
campus et occurrens umbris maioribus arbor, haud aliter trepidare viri.

promit nutritaque gramina monti,
quae sacer ille nives inter tristesque pruinas
durat alitque cruor.
