The Aeneid - pg. 125

Cutting through waves blown dark by a chill wind
Aeneas held his ships firmly on course
For a midsea crossing. But he kept his eyes
Upon the city far astern, now bright
With poor Elissa's pyre. What caused that blaze
Remained unknown to watchers out at sea,
But what they knew of a great love profaned
In anguish, and a desperate woman's nerve,
Led every Trojan heart into foreboding.
