Leo Tolstoy

War and Peace (excerpt)

“Look! Look there!” one soldier was saying to another, pointing to a Russian musketeer who had gone up to the picket line with an officer and was rapidly and excitedly talking to a French grenadier. “Hark to him jabbering! Fine, isn’t it? It’s all the Frenchy can do to keep up with him. There now, Sidorov!”

“Wait a bit and listen. It’s fine!” answered Sidorov, who was considered adept at French.

The soldier to whom the laughers referred was Dolokhov. Prince Andrew recognized him and stopped to listen to what he was saying. Dolokhov had come from the left flank where their regiment was stationed, with his captain.

“Now then, go on, go on!” incited the officer, bending forward and trying not to lose a word of the speech which was incomprehensible to him. “More, please: More! What’s he saying?”

Dolokhov did not answer the captain; he had been drawn into a hot dispute with the French grenadier. They were naturally talking about the campaign. The Frenchman, confusing the Austrians with the Russians, was trying to prove that the Russians had surrendered and had fled all the way from Ulm, while Dolokhov maintained that the Russians had not surrendered but had beaten the French.

“We have orders to drive you off here, and we shall drive you off,” said Dolokhov.

“Only take care you and your Cossacks are not all captured!” said the French grenadier. The French onlookers and listeners laughed.

“We’ll make you dance as we did under Suvorov. . . [on vous fera danser],” said Dolokhov.

“Qu’est-ce qu’il chante? [What’s he singing about?]” asked a Frenchman.

“It’s ancient history,” said another, guessing that it referred to a former war. “The Emperor will teach your Suvara as he has taught the others. . .”

Virgil

Selected Quotes from Virgil's 'The Aeneid'

The man you seek is here. I stand before you,
Trojan Aeneas torn from Libyan waves.
O you who were alone in taking pity
on the unutterable trials of Troy,
who welcome us as allies to your city
and home- a remnant left by Greeks, harassed
by all disasters known on land and sea.


- The Aeneid, Book 1, lines 836-842
