You can say "subvolare" (that's what the Romans said for "soar", referred to birds). In a figurative sense, you can say "in sublime ferri", which is a construction made of "in sublime" (an adverbial syntagm, which you shouldn't change), and "ferri" (passive infinitive, actually deponent). Hope this helps! Flavio (Eng>Lat moderator) |
