Venis, vidis, vicis Explanation: veni, vidi, vici. These words, which Suetonius tells us were carried on a banner in a triumphal procession of Julius Caesar (Divus Iulius 37), can serve as a starting-point for an analysis of rhetorical figures and sentence-construction. "I came, I saw, I conquered." Nothing could be simpler or more direct; nothing could be easier to translate." On the basis of this famous sentence, I coined the above, which is simply in the second person: you came, you saw and you conquered. best of luck paola l m Reference: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/class/rhetfig.htm |
