Excerpt from Alexandre Herculano: Conferencia Pública Realizada no Atheneu Commercial de Lisboa, na Noite de 15 de Julho de 1900
Passemos a Roma, e la acharemos o sentimento re ligioso revelado nas obras de Virgílio, de Cícero e de Tito Livio. O grande Lucrecio, o mais profundo e um dos mais eloquentes poetas romanos, que no seu bri lhante poema da natureza das cousas romanizou o epi curismo, negou a existencia dos deuses e a immortali dade da alma, divinizou materia, explicou a origem do mundo sem intervenção divina e aconselhou o sui cidio, foi sem dúvida uma excepção.
