Favored Ilium

αἳ γὰρ ὑπ᾽ ἠελίῳ τε καὶ οὐρανῷ ἀστερόεντι
ναιετάουσι πόληες ἐπιχθονίων ἀνθρώπων,
τάων μοι περὶ κῆρι τιέσκετο Ἴλιος ἱρὴ
καὶ Πρίαμος καὶ λαὸς ἐϋμμελίω Πριάμοιο.

For of the cities of the earth-walking men which dwell under the sun and under the starry heaven, of these was sacred Ilium most treasured to my heart, Priam and the spear-gifted people of Priam.

Reading Il 4, Matt 8, and Epist Cic. I've spent most of the day getting anxious about my recital tonight for no good reason (it's a very light program) and sorting old emails. J and I visit her parents in PA this weekend while she plays her concerto with the HSO--that being a legitimate reason to get nervous.
