Ettore Ferrari (Italian, 1848–1929) Statue of Roman poet Ovid in Constanta, Romania
Sub astãpiatrã zace Ovidiu,cântãrețul Iubirilor gingașe, rãpus de-al sãu talent. O, tu,ce treci pe-aice, dac-ai iubit vreodatã, Te roagã pentru dânsul: sã-i fie somnul lin! Under this stone lies Ovid, the poet of the gentle love, by his own talent killed. Oh, you who passes here, if you ever loved, Pray for him: may his soul rest in peace!
