Quote by Virgil

It manus in gyrum; paullatim singula viresDeperdunt proprias; color est E pluribus unus. Spins round the stirring hand; lose by degreesTheir separate powers the parts, and comes at lastFrom many several colors one that rules.


It manus in gyrum; paullatim singula viresDeperdunt proprias

Summary

This quote means that when different elements come together and interact, they begin to lose their individual power and blend into a unified whole. It draws an analogy to a hand stirring a mixture, where the distinct parts gradually lose their distinctiveness and mix together. Eventually, from this blending, a single dominant color emerges, symbolizing a unified force or concept that governs. The quote implies that unity can arise from diversity and that the blending of different elements can create a stronger and more powerful entity.
