Translation please: OMNIS FERET OMNIA TELLUS. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell talk 20:33, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

:It's Latin. It is Virgilian, according to Google. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 20:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

::My first guess is "The whole earth will carry everything". +Angr 20:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

::::It means something like, according to one source, Every land shall bear every thing. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 20:48, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

:Right. It's from Virgil's Fourth Eclogue, available [http://www.language.iastate.edu/latinPreview/unit01/docs/eclogue_4.pdf here] (line 39), if that helps. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 20:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
