"cercate e troverete" (seek and ye shall find)

“I am in Rome! Oft as the morning ray visits these eyes, waking at once I cry; Whence this excess of joy? What has befallen me? And from within a thrilling voice replies, Thou art in Rome! A thousand busy thoughts rush on my mind, a thousand images; and I spring up as girt to run a race!” - Samuel Rogers
