from which the contrasting sheen of gold gleamed through the branches.
Just as mistletoe is accustomed to flourish in the woods in the wintry cold/cold of winter
with new foliage, which a tree not its own sows,
and to surround the smooth trunks with its yellow fruit,
such was the appearance of the leafy gold on the dark
holm-oak tree, thus the foil was rustling in the light/gentle wind.
Aeneas snatches it up immediately and eagerly breaks it off
while it was clinging, and carries it under the roof(s) of the prophetess Sibyl.
