Book 6.703-712
Aeneas sees shades in the valley around the river Lethe. He asks Anchises about what he sees.
Interea videt Aeneas in valle reducta
703
seclusum nemus et virgulta sonantia silvis,
704
Lethaeumque, domos placidas qui praenatat, amnem.
705
Hunc circum innumerae gentes populique volabant;
706
ac – velut in pratis ubi apes aestate serena
707
floribus insidunt variis, et candida circum
708
lilia funduntur – strepit omnis murmure campus.
709
Horrescit visu subito, causasque requirit
710
inscius Aeneas, quae sint ea flumina porro,
711
quive viri tanto complerint agmine ripas.
