“I don’t suppose anyone reads Latin any more.”

I was happy to stop reading Latin in 1966, after my last Regents exam. Although I see some form of it every day in English. Hated it, but glad I took it.

In my first week of 4 years of HS Latin I learned this:

Latin is a dead language
as dead as it could be.
First it killed the Romans
and now it’s killing me.
