English: Optima dies...prima fugit.. written in a coloured way. it is a quote from Roman Virgil, meaning "In the lives of the mortals, the best days are the first to flee" (literally "a very good day is the first that goes away") Translation: The best days of our lives are childhood days. It appeared in Willa Cather's.
This phrase is in Latin and translates to "the best days are the first to flee." It suggests that good times seem to pass quickly, while challenging times can feel as if they drag on. It serves as a reminder to cherish and make the most of positive moments.
Optima Dies... Prima Fugit is a quote from The Georgics by the Ancient Roman poet Virgil. In English, it means "In the lives of mortals, the best days are the first to flee."

It is through this quote that Cather's influence from Virgil is revealed, and by looking deeper into the novel this quote is physically represented many times.
