Odyssey
Book 23, Line 104 by Samuel Butler (English)
Penelope answered, "My son, I am so lost in astonishment that I can find no words in which either to ask questions or to answer them. I cannot even look him straight in the face. Still, if he really is Odysseus come back to his own home again, we shall get to understand one another better by and by, for there are tokens [ sêmata ] with which we two are alone acquainted, and which are hidden from all others."
