a line from Virgil that seemed to have been written for us uncertain travelers on the road: Et quacunque viam dederit fortuna sequamur. “And let us follow whatever path Fortune has given us.”
This is from Aeneid Book 10, line 49. The speaker is Venus, and the line is actually "et, quamcumque viam dederit Fortuna, sequatur"
The father may be cast on coasts unknown,
Struggling with fate
(Dryden translation)
Aeneas can be tossed on unknown seas,
following whatever Path Fate gives.
(Shadi Bartsch)
