In the calm after the storm
Francis A. Miniter wrote (snipped):
Suave, mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis, e terra alterius spectare laborem, non quia vexari quemqaumst iucunda voluptas, sed quibus ipse malis careas quia cernere suave est; Very nice, Francis, but the second line is not a hexameter. Surely, a word is missing? I think we need a past participle in the genitive case, to go with "alterius".
