One shakes one's head in doubt: the Romans did not personalize their deities like the Greeks. Cato gives the ritual to be used at cutting down a grove; says he "This is the proper Roman way to cut down a grove. Sacrifice with a pig for a peace-offering.

You are no Don Quixote fighting a windmill of imaginary wrongs, are you?" A dark red flush mounted to the old man's brow, and as it passed away, left him pale as death. "Sir, I have fought against wrongs in my time; but they were not imaginary. I might have still continued the combat but for Gloria!" "Ah! She is your peace-offering to an unjust world?"

'And you make her your peace-offering, whom you have engaged to serve! Too surely your eyes have been open as well as mine. Knot by knot I have watched you where is it? you have marked the points in that silken string where the confirmation of a just suspicion was too strong for you.
And, by way of peace-offering, he sent her a beautiful little niello pax, as a specimen of the work of his Milanese goldsmiths, and as a proof that he placed himself altogether at her service.
