Virgil  - Quotes

 There are twin Gates of Sleep. One, they say, is called the Gate of Horn and it offers easy passage to all true shades.

And here Anchises, his vision told in full, escorts his son and Sibyl both and shows them out now through the Ivory Gate.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
