What language?

Translation please: OMNIS FERET OMNIA TELLUS. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 20:33, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's Latin. It is Virgilian, according to Google. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 20:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My first guess is "The whole earth will carry everything". +An gr 20:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It means something like, according to one source, Every land shall bear every thing. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 20:48, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Right. It's from Virgil's Fourth Eclogue, available here (line 39), if that helps. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 20:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
