thanks, Herwig.
now, i believe that that's the second time you've had to correct my
misspelling of the name of that particular place.
seems like any decent country would get the hint and change the spelling to
accomodate Americanisms.
this scene must be the one i was mis-remembering as S. struggling with
the columns:
"Tablet III/13: ....Upper right: spes (Hope). Samson fert portas (Sampson
carries the gates). Viribus extortas fert montis ad ardua portas (the gates
which were torn out by his strength he carries to the height of the
mountain).
i've probably gotten it confused with the 1950s movie, as well, with Victor
Mature as S.
so it goes.
thanks again, Herwig.
