Virgil, Aeneid VI.460

Melphi speaks

invitus, regina, tuo de litore cessi.

The priest translates

«Against my will, my queen, I left your shore.»

And interprets

This line speaks of a farewell that was never truly wanted, and of an explanation that comes too late. Perhaps you too have left someone, a place, a job, because life pushed you elsewhere, and you carry the weight of not having said it well. Or perhaps you are the one waiting for an explanation from someone who left. The line tells you that words, even sincere ones, do not always heal a wound: Dido does not answer. That is no reason to keep them silent. Pay attention to timing: important things must be said while the other person can still hear them. Now is the right time to clear things up, before it is too late.
