Art followed hard on art. Toil triumphed over every obstacle, unrelenting Toil, and Want that pinches when life is hard.

[Tum variae venere artes. Labor omnia vicit
inprobus et duris urgens in rebus egestas.]

Virgil (70-19 BC) Roman poet [b. Publius Vergilius Maro; also Vergil]

Georgics [Georgica], Book 1, l. 145ff (1.145) (29 BC) [tr. Fairclough (Loeb) (1916)]

On humanity developing the arts and sciences in response to Jove making life difficult.
