May the fields, and and the valleys washed by streams, give me solace. Let me be inglorious and love rivers and woods.

From Vergil's Georgics, Second Book.
Using an online translator to translate Vergil is like trying to enter a pedal car in the Indianapolis 500. It will never work and it's an insult to greatness.
