History:
The Latin phrase “Amor Vincit
Omnia” translates as “love conquers all,” a motto known to all English
Literature students as the one engraved on the brooch worn by the Prioress
in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The full quote from the Roman poet Virgil’s
Ecologues X, 69 dated to 38BC is “Omnia Vincit Amor et nos cedamus amori”
or, “love conquers all; let us too, yield to love!"
