Verse
Odyssey
Book 19, Line 41 by Samuel Butler (English)
"Hush," answered Odysseus, "hold your noos in peace and ask no questions, for this is the manner [ dikê ] of the gods. Get you to your bed, and leave me here to talk with your mother and the maids. Your mother in her grief will ask me all sorts of questions."
