The Queen of Carthage

As unrest spreads throughout the Arab world I couldn't help but think of Dido's curse from the Aenied, "May an avenger rise up from my bones. . . I call your shores to war against their shores, your waves against their waves, arms with their arms. Let them and their sons' sons learn what is war." (IV 861-869)
