What are your (preferably bucolic) Latin lines of verse or prose?
learning Latin myself and think it would be handy to have more phrases and lines known
i hear Virgil has some good bucolic verse but don't know enough to isolate the pure Latin itself
I'm really looking for some "the river descended into the valley from the mountains" type of shit

I liked the following from Eclogue II from Virgil
>Habitarunt di quoque silvas,
>Dardaniusque Paris. Pallas quas condidit arces
>Ipsa colat; nobis placeant ante omnia silvae.

The gods have also lived in the forests as well as Dardanian Paris. Let Pallas (Athena) inhabit the citadels which she has founded. Let the forests satisfy us before anything else.

As for any recs, a lot of neo-Latin poets during the Renaissance wrote in this genre but they did it in a complicated style like Virgil himself. I suggest Dryden's translations if you want to dip your toes into it but, be aware, he took some poetic liberties so expect a lot of paraphrasing.

I was originally using Wheelock, but I find that the pacing of this is much more able to challenge me and keep me invested. It was designed for intensive summer courses, meant to learn all the grammar in one month of summer. For context, Wheelock teaches the grammar in 40 sections, this one in 18. The lessons tend to show you things which overlap so that you learn a lot at once. For instance, the perfect, pluperfect, and future declensions all fit nicely into one section when it would have easily spread over 3 in Wheelock.
