hic Hecuba et natae nequiquam altaria circum
praecipites atra ceu tempestate columbae
condensae et divum amplexae simulcra sedebant.
Hecuba and her daughters settled by the shrines,
Like doves in a black storm, dropping sheer down,
They huddled close, clutching the statues of the gods.
Aen. II.516-517
So when the sky and grass met, rolling dumb for thunder
Saw I once a white dove, sole light of the earth
