“‘And it will feel good to fill my soul flames of vengeance, and to appease the ashes of my .’” (Aeneas recalls the fall of Troy, the city afire, and how he considered whether to kill Helen “in the heat of the moment”; i.e., extreme emotion feels like a fire within the body. Syncope: explevisse, satiavisse; substitution: ultricis for ultionis.)
