Note 1, 14 — A. PERSIUS FLACCUS (continued 3)
Reading edition
14. grande: ‘vast,’ ‘grandiose.’ Grandis is always used with intention, which our word ‘grand’ sometimes fails to give. See 1, 68; 2, 42; 3, 45. 55; 5, 7. 186; 6, 22.—quod pulmo: ‘something vast enough to make a lung generous of breath pant in the utterance of it.’ Jahn (1868) reads quo for quod; quo is not so vigorous.—animae praelargus: a stretch of the adjectives of fulness (G., 373, R. 6; A., 50, 3, b); praelargus = capacissimus.
