Argomento: Quo Usque

Modificato da Grim Reaper (6. Agosto 2004, 04:50:40)

Quo usque is how the first oration of Cicero against Cataline starts out.

Quo usque tandem abutere patientia nostra, O Catalina!"

How long will you continue to abuse our patience, O Cataline?

Of note is that Cicero used "abutere" instead of "abuteris", which is 2 person, singular, future tense for "will you abuse". His change of the language was stylistic and caught the attention of his audience, and it added additional emphasis to his fantastic speech.

You should now know why I changed my name if you read through all of the trashy posts left by Danoschek, who is the biggest pain in the butt the world has ever known.

Quo usque tandem abutere patientia nostra, O Danoschek!"
