| Aeneas visits the underworld |
From page 176 of the book: "...As if to put a final topping on the discussion, relative to its meaning for fathers and sons, Ebert quoted from Virgil's Aeneid, a passage which spoke of Aeneas' visit to hell in order to speak with his father, Anchises. In translation, it said that the road to hell is easy, that the gate stands open night and day, but "to trace one's steps and return to the upper air, that is the toil, that the difficulty."
