The Arcadians were chestnut-eaters. - Alcaeus, Fragment (LXXXVI) What, know you not, old man (quoth he)-- Your hair is white, your face is wise-- That Love must kiss that Mortal's eyes Who hopes to fee fair Arcady? No gold can buy you entrance there; But beggared Love may go all bare-- No wisdom won with weariness; But love goes in Folly's dress-- No fame that wit could ever win; But Love may lean Love in. To Arcady, to Arcady. - Henry Cuyler Bunner, The Way to Arcady Arcades ambo--id est, blackguards both. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Don Juan (canto IV, st. 93) Et moi aussi, je fus pasteur dans l’ Arcadie! - Abbe Jacques Delille (Jaques Delisle), Les Jardins Ou L'art D'embellir Les Paysages I too was in Arcadia!

[Ger., Auch ich was in Arkadien geboren, auch mir hat die Natur.] - Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, Resignation, Eine Phantasie, see similar quotations by Goethe and Ernst Hoffman Alas! the road to Anywhere is pitfalled with disaster; There's hunger, want, and weariness, yet O we loved it so!

[Lat., Arcades ambo, Et cantare pares, et respondere parati.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), Eclogues (VII, 4) Arcadians skilled in song will sing my woes upon the hills. Softly shall my bones repose, if you in future sing my loves upon your pipe. [Lat., Tamen cantabitis, arcades inquit montibus Haec vestris: soli cantare periti Arcades. O mihi tum quam molliter ossa quiescant, Vestra meos olim si fistula dicat amores.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), Eclogues (X, 31)
