Sometimes it is of the utmost importance to be completely honest with who you are, be it a psychotic weirdo or a boring bookworm. This is me, being both.

Tacitus, Nero and Agrippina

Section 1c- lines 9-11

quonam modo ferrum et caedes occultaretur
what way sword and murder concealed
nemo reperiebat; et metuebat Nero ne quis tanto facinori
no one work out and afrais Nero lest anyone such a great crime
delectus iussa sperneret.
chosen order reject.

No one could work out in what way sword and murder could be concealed; and Nero was afraid lest anyone chosen for such a great crime would reject the orders.
