* Latin *

<3

Alright, so its a dead language and no one speaks it any more, but I dont understand why more people don't study Latin!!

I'm in my tenth week of lectures and LOVING every second of it ... latin can just be so much more beautiful and expressive than the bastardisation we call English.

So I am to leave a little gem of wisdom, a famous quote in Latin, or just something that amuses me at the end of my *hopefully* everyday posts ...

Todays comes from the Latin lecture this morning, courtesy of Vergil (via my lecturer)

"Sunt hic etiam sua praemia laudi, sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt"
(Here also there are rewards for bravery, there are tears for things and mortal affairs touch the mind)
