Death & Dying
Book VIII, 40: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
Only thy voice was left to thee, shining Nonna, who didst cast all that was thine together into the great wine-vats, a pure offering from a pure heart ; but at the end when thou wast taken thou didst leave that too in the church.
