An Echo

Alexander Pope (1688-1744), "Autumn," Pastorals, lines 63-64:
While curling smokes from village-tops are seen,
And the fleet shades glide o'er the dusky green.
Vergil, Eclogues 1.82-83 (tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):
Even now the housetops yonder are smoking
and longer shadows fall from the mountain heights.

et iam summa procul villarum culmina fumant
maioresque cadunt altis de montibus umbrae.
