There will, however, always be a powerful weight in the scales, when the Prussian government exercises its influence with firm determination and so clearly that doubts for the future are impossible. Vestigia terrent! we may say, when with 1848, no not 1848, I mean 1831-32 the attention paid to the Polish nation became almost more pronounced in Germany than that given to the German element.
Doed. says the root of the word is common to the Greek, Latin, and German languages, viz. baren, i.e. fremere, a verb still used by the Batavians, and the noun bar, i.e. carmen, of frequent occurrence in Saxon poetry to this day. Terrent trepidantve. Thus the Batavians perceived, that the sonitus aciei on the part of the Romans was more feeble than their own, and pressed on, as to certain triumph.
His genius showed itself in turning this method of a laborious lucidity into a peculiarly exasperating form of satire and controversy. Newman's strength was in a sort of stifled passion, a dangerous patience of polite logic and then: "Cowards! if I advanced a step you would run away: it is not you I fear. Di me terrent, et Jupiter hostis."
The Dira only served to confirm him in his first opinion, that it was his destiny to die in the ensuing combat. And in this sense are those words of Virgil to be taken "Non me tua turbida virtus Terret, ait; dii me terrent, et Jupiter hostis." I wonder Ruaeus saw not this, where he charges his author so unjustly for giving Turnus a second sword to no purpose.
Cowards! if I advanced one step, you would run away; it is not you that I fear: "Di me terrent, et Jupiter hostis." It is because the Bishops still go on charging against me, though I have quite given up: it is that secret misgiving of heart which tells me that they do well, for I have neither lot nor part with them: this it is which weighs me down.
Non me tua fervida terrent Dicta; ... Dii me terrent, et Jupiter hostis. Two kinds of dilettanti, says Goethe, there are in poetry: he who neglects the indispensable mechanical part, and thinks he has done enough if he shows spirituality and feeling; and he who seeks to arrive at poetry merely by mechanism, in which he can acquire an artisan's readiness, and is without soul and matter.
No. 110. Horror ubique animos, simul ipsa silentia terrent. VIRG. AEn. ii. v. 755. All things are full of horror and affright, And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night.
That after all this Jupiter, who was partial to the Trojan, and distrustful of the event, though he had hung the balance and given it a jog of his hand to weigh down Turnus, thought convenient to give the Fates a collateral security by sending the screech-owl to discourage him; for which they quote these words of Virgil: "Non me tua turbida virtus Terret, ait; dii me terrent, et Jupiter hostis."
I should be more than human or less if these arguments did not give me pause. I would do nothing willingly to alienate the few who are still friendly to me. But the motives driving me are too strong for such personal considerations. I might say with the Latin: "Non me tua fervida terrent, Dicta, ferox: Di me terrent, et Jupiter hostis." Even this would be only a part of the truth.
Houses afterwards were built on its ground, and one of them became Jenny Man's "Tilt Yard Coffee House." No. 110. Friday, July 6, 1711. Addison. 'Horror ubique animos, simul ipsa silentia terrent. Virg.
