Brutus of Troy and the Quest for the Ancestry of the British Quotes

“As we watched on that evening, imagining Brutus gazing eagerly west, the setting sun sank and described a glittering path of reddened gold, dancing out westwards across the gentle waves. It was a path, and a destiny, that grew ever brighter, ever bloodier, as the precious moments passed. Then the sun sank out of sight and the afterglow began; first intense gold, then deep crimson. It was easy to visualise – even actually to glimpse – the last of Brutus’s ships clearing the promontory, the sails filling with the evening breeze, billowing out with their first precious taste of freedom.”
― Anthony Adolph, Brutus of Troy and the Quest for the Ancestry of the British
