So Homer likens the gathering of Grecian warriors to the "many tribes of feathered birds, wild geese, or cranes or long-necked swans, on the Asian mead, by Kay- strios' stream," who "fly hither and thither joying in their plumage, and with loud cries settle ever onwards, and the mead resounds." ^ Virgil em- ploys the same figure thus: "They marched in even measure and sang of their king: as often snowy swans in the moist clouds, when full-fed they return." ^ So the angels are said to lie in hel...l "entranced, thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks," just as Homer compares the generations of men to the leaves of the trees that fall and die before the new buds come, or as Virgil compares the crowd gathering on the river bank to "the leaves that fall in the forest at the first chill breath of autumn."
