« Suppose
Vergil's heart was divided. Suppose he read and reread his Lucretius
as a religious atheist might peruse his Saint Paul –desperate,
faithful in his disbelief, hoping, at some moment, for the
illumination . . .
. . . his desire to
believe in cosmic order, and, failing a strong faith in human nature,
his reverence for human dignity. »
