utinam scirem si iussu resonanti ut sine reditu ullo in aeternitatem abirent mortui turbarentur. Explanation: utinam scirem si iussu resonanti ut sine reditu ullo in aeternitatem abirent mortui turbarentur. A paraphrase of your sentence, approximately meaning: "If only I knew whether the dead are disturbed by the resounding command that they depart for eternity without ever returning." The notion of a "one-way pass", based on the whole construct of public vehicular transportation systems, cannot be reproduced literally in ancient styles. So my rendition gets at the general sense. |
