traxerat Eva virum dirae ad consortia culpae: haec peccans sibi sola perit; solidata metallo diriguit fragili saxumque liquabile facta stat mulier, sicut steterat prius, omnia servans caute sigillati longum salis effigiata, et decus et cultum frontemque oculosque co-mamque et flexam in tergum faciem paulumque relata menta retro, antiquae monumenta rigentia noxae.
Eve had drawn her husband into partnership in an accursed fault, but this woman by her sin brought death on herself alone. She stiffened in a solid mass of wasting stone; turned into soluble rock she stands there a woman still, as she had stood before, preserving every detail modelled in a pillar of salt that has long borne her image, her graceful form, her dress, brow and eyes and hair, her face turned to look behind, the chin carried slightly backwards, a stiff memorial of an ancient sin.
