So your English Lit teacher was a Latin lover then.
I don't think Latin is taught in schools any more.
I do remember that Gaul was divided into three parts. I hear that Mickius Jaggerus came from there and formed the group, The Gaul Stones.
We had a text book called "Latin for Today". I can still remember the first sentence, "Discipuli illustram spectate" ["Pupils, look at the picture"].
My sister couldn't get on with the subject and used to say this rhyme:
"Latin is a language,
As dead as dead can be.
It killed the Ancient Romans
And now it's killing me."
