PHILIPPE DE LILLE GAULTIER (GAUTIER) ("D. CHATILLON") French poet ( - 1201) Where, O king, destined to perish, are you directing your unavailing flight? Alas, lost one, you know not whom you flee; you are running from enemies, whilst you flee from your foe. You fall upon the rock Scylla desiring to avoid the whirlpool Charybdis.   [Lat., Quo tendis inertem     Rex periture, fugam? Nescis heu, perdite! nescis       Quem fugias; hostes incurris, dum fugis hostem.         Incidis in Scyllam cupiens vitare Charybdim.]       - Alexandriad (bk. V, 298),         source said to be Quintus Curtius         [Danger] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C. Shepard. All Rights Reserved.
