// MALUS SILVA = BAD FORREST //
"No peace, no quiet in those places is found,
But a rushing torrent of outcries deep,
A sound of regions of mourning, and shadows that are the dead."
(In this passage, Aeneas ventures into the Underworld and encounters the River Styx, a dark and turbulent river that surrounds the realm of the dead. The location is described as a place of constant lamentation and sorrow. In the Iliad the Underworld was sometimes depicted as a vast and eerie realm, with imagery akin to a shadowy forest, where the dead resided in a somber state)
