I need to get on a stage and, like, viscerally yell something along the lines of “I see it now, by the light of my burning city. You did this.” (Thinking about Aeneid 2.559-582 or so.)
#we were translating that in class today and by God
#i had such a vivid mental image of it
#and i need to yell it with a raw voice ykwim? just a Need
#self fulfillment needs
#<-- probably my fav tag bc everything in it gives me such visceral feelings (morpheus glasses)
#the aeneid
#aeneid book two
#i love tragedies so much
#i already made a post abt this i think but old men seeing their sons die (priam!!!)
#i love the moment of absolute loss and fear as aeneas sees his city burn around him
#i love the fact that it's those very fires that ignite his anger and illuminate the target of it
#i love that helen is in vesta's temple bc it's so ironic
#god the aeneid has grown on me
