Even just this little bit chokes m up. The Beloved Spouse and I watch LONESOME DOVE every couple of years, and it still gets me just as much. A great story, exquisitely told.
ON AUGUSTA'S GRAVE MARKER CAPT CALL HAMMERS A PICE OF WOOOD WITH THE LATIN WORDS "UVA UVAM VIVENDO VARIA FIT". DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THAT PHRASE TRANSLATES TO? IF ANYTHING? IM CURIOUS BUT COULD NOT FIND A LATIN-ENGLISH TRANSLATOR TO DO THE JOB. DOES ANYONE KNOW?
That starts the tears.

ReplyDeleteI've read the book but not seen the series so I'm not gonna watch this. Someday I will probably get the whole thing from the library and watch it.
