In keeping with my mission to enlighten the lurkers, my latest tagline: Hic amor, haec patria est is from Virgil's Aneid. When AEneas fled the fall of Troy and came to Latium (Italy), where he became the legendary founder of the Etruscans, from whom the noble Romans claimed descent, he declared of his adopted homeland (says Virgil): "This is my love, this is my country."
