1 Memento patriam
Помни о родине.Парафраза, см. Memento moriВ Неаполе в 1848 году я впервые прочитал "Антона Горемыку", простую историю крестьянина, преследуемого бурмистром за то, что он, под диктовку других крестьян, написал на него жалобу помещику. Это memento patriam было особенно тягостным в разгар революционных событий в Италии, под сладостными и ласкающими порывами ветра с Средиземного моря. (А. И. Герцен, О романе из народной жизни в России.)Латинско-русский словарь крылатых слов и выражений > Memento patriam
