Terribilis est locus iste.
I tego arcana dei.
Futue te impsum et caballum tuum.
Et in Arcadia ego.
Thank you!
Terribilis est locus iste.
Terrible is this place.
This is taken from Genesis 28:17.
After Jacob wrestles with the angel,
Pavensque quam terribilis inquit est locus iste.
Non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei et porta caeli.
And trembling, he said: How terrible is this place?
This is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
I tego arcana dei
Go, I conceal God's secrets.
Futue te impsum [should be "ipsum"] et caballum tuum.
F**k yourself and your pack-horse.
Et in Arcadia ego
I [am] even in Arcadia
(The title of two paintings by Nicolas Poussin)
