"Optima dies...prima fugit. -Virgil
(In the lives of mortals) the best days are the first to flee.
The epigraph (quotation from another source such as history or literature; it is used before the beginning of a book in order to introduce a theme) is back.
Explain what you thought about the context in which it is introduced into the actual novel. Do you have a different view of how it applies to the novel now that we have seen the characters grow up and leave home?
