25And now the sea was reddening with rays, and from the high heaven saffron Dawn was shining in her rosy chariot, when the winds dropped, every breath suddenly fell still, and the oars labour in the sluggish marble sea. 29And here Aeneas, looking out from the water, sees a huge grove. 30Through its midst the Tiber, with his pleasant stream, bursts out into the sea in swift eddies, yellow with much sand. 32All around and above, birds of many kinds, used to the banks and the river's bed, were soothing the air with song and flying through the grove. 35He orders his comrades to change course and turn their prows to land, and joyfully enters the shady river.
