Note 39 — Chapter VII · POETIC IN ANCIENT DRAMA AND NARRATIVE
Reading edition
Eximios tauros, farre pio, etc., noted, among other critics, by E. Nageotte, Histoire de la littérature latine, 334. Apropos of Vergil’s incomparable command of the resources of his language, Nageotte adds happily that a “tache de rouille antique a son effet prévu dans la gamme des couleurs environnantes” (324).
