Oft by stealth
The silent river undermines the wall.
πολλάκι λήθει
τοῖχον ὑποτρώγων ἡσύχιος ποταμός.
τοῖχον ὑποτρώγων ἡσύχιος ποταμός.
Original text (Ancient Greek)
Oft by stealth
More quotes by Callimachus
The grammarian Callimachus used to say that a big book is equivalent to a big evil.
He sware: but what they say is true—that lovers' oaths enter not the ears of the immortals.
